| The Judges will be in the Mountbatten room of the Union for judging items, this will be sign posted from the Union entrance and is next to the bar. Ask the nice people at reception if the inner door is locked! Directions to the Union can be found at www.cus.org. Judging will be from 10am to 10.30pm on Wednesday, resume at 9am Thursday and stop at 9pm Thursday evening. The results will be announced soon afterwards (when everything is tallied). |
