Dan - check out Newport as well for accreditation - depending on how easy it is for you to get there it’s a much simpler process to get accredited - only one official 2 hour session (think you would maybe need to go to one drop in or something before but nothing more onerous than that).

Too early to give that award. Robin is going to add a calendar feature to the website that every event organiser and racing captain will be able to edit and add events and races like these to, which will make this incredible spreadsheet totally defunct. Maybe.
