Hi Doug,

I too would like the British to be a bit earlier, so the winner would have
an easier time fitting the trip to the World Championship into his schedule
(though there's an advantage to having it late too!).  This year I think
there was only a two week gap (?) which could have been awkward for some
(though Tony handled it in his usual laid-back style as usual :-) )

That's up to the organisers however, who do subscribe to this list and who
hopefully will take note of this thread.

Best wishes,
--Steve
