A Working Party has now been setup to
look at the logistics and timings of the day but their brief
is to include a Prelims event for the 5 Open Class Corps and
that there should be an 8 Corps Evening Finals event as agreed
at the April Board of Trustees Meeting. There will also
be exhibition performances during the day.
DCUK Chairman, Gavin Johnson commented
"Negotiations have been ongoing
quite a while and the final decision had to wait until the
Football Conference League fixtures were made available only a
couple of weeks ago" and added "This
is an superb stadium with excellent facilities both for Corps
and spectators alike and will give all Corps the ideal venue
to showcase our activity".
