Scottish Junior Championship - PeterReidSmith - 12-04-2014
HI,
The girls and boys events were all good (SC and SJC) and SJC even did some age ones this year - again, all good.
That said, how about a Scottish "Junior" weekend even that simply combines the whole girl, boy and age championships - to be honest (simply compare) we get some asymmetry, so a joined up event would very possibly work better. Girl/Boy prizes can be awarded per section/age group as well as overall winner. You could do the same for Allegro (1 day event). That would then give us a very clear picture across age groups, a joined up girl/boy competition and wider scope for the girls across all the age groups - very likely attract more. Less logistical difficulties too.
Worth a though - I've already chatted with David on it and in principle he can see the idea. Worth a forum review though maybe to see if others feel the same way.
