Steve. Let me say I have enjoyed MTC. 15 and 16 enormously. Absolutely great. Does not need any other add-ons.
(Trips to other tracks, tota festivals, change of month, etc ). NOTHING. Just leave it as it is when it is and where it is.
You have created and with the help of your small group you have been able to bring together an excellent event.
The time obviously suits a lot of people as evidenced by the number of very happy entrants. (You will always get the odd one who will moan about it would suit "HIM" better for 57 s***y reasons).
The venue is conducive to the whole event. Steve I have great admiration for all your effort in making this event into the great event that it is and I am privileged to have been a participant. Oh. And I would wish to be there again in January 2017. Regards Doug. PS. We don't need a bloody grand champion either. Just let him prove himself again each new year.
