January 5 2018, News The David Beach Competition

The Long-awaited David Beach Nominations for the 2017 Season.

Please check spellings carefully and let me know of any inaccuracies.
This year’s competition has been of a very high standard and we had to set the bar for nominations very high indeed. If you have been disappointed this year don’t be disheartened, you were probably very close – just redouble your efforts for next year and join in congratulating this year’s nominees.
