[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 7457729, member: 4681"] Yes, I plead guilty to a senior moment, though David Chappells comment that the nearest pub was in Scotland may have stuck in my mind! Of course, english ploughmen from the north should be able to plough, but, not to the detrimnt of those in the south, surely? However, thats an unanswerable problem. I would rather see the national move to a permanent site, on good ground in the Midlands, everyone would know where it was, and things like the agm could be held there. The problem is, that while it is the British National, it now only sends English ploughmen to the world, therefore, Scots, Welsh etc competitors who gain a place in the plough off do so at the expense of English competitors, and thus cut down the number of poss World attendees. This could be cured by making them additions to the plough off numbers, they would still plough for the British championship, increase the interest in the plough off. There have, as you say always been competitors form Scotland, Wales etc, and all was fine because it was the british champion who went to the world, when that changed, so to, should the plough off.
