Mary and mine first time at Saltburn and we had a great time.Many thanks to Ray and everyone who made it so.It is a shame things like this should surface after the event. In the intrest of clarity I should like to point a couple of things out;

I was one of those who competed in the Fred Jordan trophy and did recieve a copy of the rules - they are in front of me as I write this - the rules were available to all those who wished to enter the competition.

Rule (6) states:"All entrants will normally be expected to have purchased a weekend ticket.Anyone attending the festival in the capacity of a steward or a booked guest who wishes to enter the competition must have the written permission of the festival organisor (see entry form)"

This is certainly not sour grapes on my part, Dave was clearly displaying his stewards badge at the competition so it could be assumed that he had this written permission from John Taylor.

I have pm'd you on this Ray
