I owe an immense amount of gratitude to the photographer Alan Evans. He was very professional
in his approach and took an amazing selection photos and allowed
me to use a selection for the magazine. I have been covering the
British Isles event for all of its 29 year history (Including playing in the
first three) and Alan is the most helpful photographer I have come
across, even helping this novice with his camera technique during the
weekend. An article by him has been included on page 17. You can
view his large collection of great photos (and buy) at

I also owe a great deal of very special thanks to The Champi-
onship organiser Wyn Jones, without who’s help I could not have have
