Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December :‘New Horizons’ and ‘Great Northern’ Competitions The inaugural ‘New Horizons’ competition takes place on the Saturday, starting in the morning & running into part of the afternoon, depending on number of entries. We hope that the entrants to this will stay on to see the commencement of the ‘Great Northern’ itself (and maybe come for the Sunday too) to assess just what the standard of the entries to this competition are like. The GN competition concludes on Sunday afternoon to be followed by an Attendee’ Sequence session, whilst the Judges are deliberating on the awards. This will be followed by the Presentation of the Awards. The winner of the New Horizons will receive the Sir George & Lady Doreen Pollock Medal. The Great Northern has Patronage from the PAGB (28-2014) with Medals and Ribbons. So far we have received generous support from Igor Kokarev of PicturesToExe for prizes for the New Horizons, and from AKM Music for prizes for the Great Northern competitions.
