The Baton of Honour was given to Eric Ball.
Henry Geehl originally listed as adjudicator, but we've had reports that he produced no remarks, and it would seem odd to have four adjudicators.

We've also been told that Crossley's Carpets came 6th with 183 points, rather than the fifth that we have listed. This comes from someone with remarks from the contest.
