I was the chair of that show in 1987 and 1998. I feel as that I owe you an apology for the way that you were treated. Was it someone in Tech Inspection who made the comment about your wheels and as a result of that, were you mis-classed?

We were VERY short of space due to a problem with the front grass area which was promised to us in writing but there was a legal battle ongoing so we were not able to use it, which caused a major problem for everyone.
