all depends on how much intrest is shown this year , if it is one day or a few days , thats why you need to get your club to ask the questions at the ifsa meetingsc etc ,

Last year IFSA said it had to be run all in the one day, as they send an official down for the day to adjudicate..
Fair play to Peter Flahive he came down last year on his own time too, (Cheers Peter) so i presume it will be the same again this year.. But im sure we can pick the day ourselves...

Fair play to Peter indeed Paddy.

I hope qually is the same as last year if we can get things in place. All in one day, limited casts etc etc - at end of the day that the way it is when you go there. You only get a couple of chances on each weight and not at your own leisure.

I only hope I can afford the entry if we and then I do get that far..
