Walter my young ins where well schooled as I had been training before I took 2 weeks holiday and trained them up  but I,m lucky I get to pick and choose when I go on holiday  but I still think we start far too early with our old birds and this has a knock on effect there is far too many short  races that do no good seems the middle distance points been changed for  these short skips  but like every one else  the AGM  is the place to change  the program and yes Robbie I agree  why change a good m/dist point for a skip JMO
