Hi Nigel,

Might be able to get hold of a Bloodaxe.....

Gary Dickens,

That would be amazing.

In 1976 there was a tie for 1st place between David Andrews (Whirlwind winches) and Derek Stevenson resulting in a sail off for the trophy with everyone watching.

A much better, more exciting way to settle a tie than today's countback!!
