And so to my earlier comment – After more than 2 decades of involvement in coordinating the Grand Prix I am pleased to be transferring my responsibilities to James Slater. Not only do I think James will make an excellent successor he has also embraced the Grand Prix enthusiastically and during this year he completed the most races in the competition, 26.
Signing off
Yours in running
