"I would like to thank every Club who jumped into the breach to help at the qualifier, some of you at the very last moment, you were all so very kind. Some who had only volunteered for half a day stepped up and did a full day when relief did not arrive. The day was not without its problems which will be looked into and learnt from. It was very long day for some, but I do thank you all for everything you did and your patience". Jan Pollard
