Ladies and Gents,
the 2008 Show will get underway very soon !

The Show sec has a list of volunteers for collating and Judging
but would hugely appreciate confirmation and of course any new volunteers who would like to join the team


Below is the rough schedule of planned classes ,
[ which will be added to ],
but the order in which the classes appear may not be as shown below,
and some will have additional sub-classes.

More will be posted in due course to give an up to date
outline of what the job of collating entails,
but for now please do peruse the list and consider which
classes you might like to take either as a judge or collator.

If more than one person would like the same class to work on,
it will be given to the first responder when the new `Class Grab Thread` goes up,
this thread is purely for the Show Sec to confirm her initial volunteers list :smt079 :smt023
