Best wishes for 2016 !!

Part of the planning for 2016 involves looking at the season that has just passed, and we thank everyone who participated in our recent survey for their help in this regard.

You might like to see the results of the survey, which is now available from our 2015 Events Page.

Over 80% of our competitors think that we should hold our own XBC social event to celebrate the 2015 season, and that they would like to collect their 2015 XBC Award there.

We do not wish to impinge on the WMC Awards Dinner, and it is worth bearing in mind that the XBC was run as a WMC Championship in 2015, so we will not arrange anything until after the WMC Dinner has passed. This gives everyone the opportunity to collect their XBC Award at the WMC dinner should they wish to do so.

For those Competitors who prefer to be presented with their XBC Award at our own event, and in response to our competitors’ wishes as indicated in this survey, we plan to arrange an evening meal near Carlisle, with accommodation available for those that need it. This will take place after the WMC dinner and before the start of the next season, so probably late February or early March.

We would hope to be able to run a slide show from 2015 season photos, allow any award winner to say a few words should they wish to do so, possibly interview certain characters on any embarrassing moments or dubious modifications, and generally have a good blether and a bit of a laugh.
