I have put reports for the 3 events I attended, if anyone wants to send a report or photos of any other events, please do so and I will include them.
There is a feature about this site on P39 of Courtney's Testimonial Brochure, with my tribute to him included. I am honoured to have been able to contribute in view of my deep admiration for Courtney. There is also a double page spread of statistics, and the site was used to compile them.
