Participants from Scotland, Norway, New Zealand and Malaysia attended the course. Master Paul MacPhail from New Zealand and Master Thompson from Scotland were present training hard during the 3 days.


The Technical Committee ran the course during 3 days in a professional way, all the participants were involved in some item all the time, the atmosphere was great and the participants enjoyed the event immensely!
