9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts	All I will say on the matter is this! Me and all the guys at the cell will be running the UK's under 105's Whatever Lawrence does is up to him! We will have it in Whitstable again as it is easier for us to get funding in the area we train in and also have contacts in! Hopefully in the future if it gets big enough we will be able to put guys up in hotels but at the moment there just isn't the money there! Same reason Glenn always runs the UK's in Belfast! sponsorship is not easy to come by so we have to do our best! We are putting up good prize money again for top 3 and also money for each event win as last year so hopefully a good few guys will get a few quid to cover expenses. I know the travel is a pain but it's just the way it is right now! If someone else feels they can get the £4000 together to run it then contact me and we can talk about it! This is supposed to be a national contest and it should be treated as a big thing, with prize money, good crowd and good venue! I personally didn't agree with the under 105 BSM being run along side other comps as I feel it should be given more credit than that! That is what we are trying to do. As I said hopefully we can keep it growing and eventually we can put up guys, have expenses for everyone etc etc but until then we just have to keep working together

Can someone please answer these questions without dancing round them or posting some un related bullst? 1)Is the Englands a qualifier for BSM? 2)Is the Englands also a qualifier for the UKs? or 3)do they each have their own seperate qualifiers?

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts	As far as I understand it Craig is running the under 105 Englands which will qualify you for UK's. Whether it qualifies for BSM too I have no idea

It appears to me that the UKs have bowled in, hijacked BSMs qualifying route and pushed BSM to the side. IMO we should be solidifying the events we already have.

I know what you are saying but there are qualifiers run for both in the opens and some guys do both and some choose which they wanna do. We are just trying to do our best for the sport in the way we see best! We aren't treading on anyones toes and if the guys doing BSM need help with anything then me and the guys will be the first their to help. I already offered our services to Lawrence with helping him run the under 105 BSM next year!
