I apologise for not making the time to put these on the website earlier.

There were two protests; both concerning control 126. The appointed jury met and the paperwork covering these two protests are here and here.

In addition there was complaint regarding the collecting of controls before the course closing time. This was not escalated by the complainant to a protest. The response from the organiser was 'We agree and we regret that the enthusiasm of our volunteer control collector affected your enjoyment of the course'. We think that all competitors were attributed attendance at these controls but know that their times were affected. I appologise for this. Derek Allison
