Ian Simms is overall vintage champion.

Well done the winners but are we missing something? Is there a lack of competitors or a lack of interest.
Only 2 in the Vintage mounted and no Classic Class?

Apparently Geoff Smith was 3rd in the vintage mounted and there were 2 in the classic class, Stuart Burden was 1st, with Ian Wilson 2nd.

Perhaps you could enlighten me David, I was under the impression that the 5 Nations was for World Style conventional and Reversible only and that the 6 Nations was for the Vintage and Classic classes? If it is the case that the vintage and classic are now in the 5 Nations who is eligible to plough at this years 5 Nations that is going to be held the day before the All Wales match in the Vale of Glamorgan? And if this is the case is there a need for the 6 Nations match?

Yet another high profile event where organisers managed to get results wrong! Even gave the cup out then took it back! I know we get complaints at the Scottish about length of time it takes to get results out but they are always correct surely that's worth waiting an extra half an hour?

Lost all together. Will find out though. Was surprised to see Ashley ploughing and winning when he never ploughed last year at York

This five nations was supposed to be held at York but due to world etc it wasn't. So the competitors earned their place the year previous!

Any ideas as to why the Scottish vintage/classic/trailing, competitors got 2 weeks notice between being asked if they would like to go, and the date of the actual match????

Surely the scpa got more notification than that??????

They had five weeks notification. I know this because I was the first asked to compete in the vintage mounted. Took me about four days to figure out if I could attend or not so by time I replied would be down to 4 weeks so you can see how the time disappears after two or three people have been asked. I was prepared to go but due to an illness in the family it ruled me out!

Fair enough, I know the lack of notice put a lot of people off that I know

I can understand that if I had been going would have needed to move about 200 ton of fert to get tractor an plough out!

Yes 5 weeks notice. Fellow club member of mine who was second in the 5 nations conventional felt it was short enough to organise a overseas trip

Definitely especially if the first person asked was to take a couple of weeks to make their mind up and doesn't accept. then the next all be it given a shorter time to decide doesn't accept either time soon disappears.
