  • Reasons for nomination: For the last two years, I've had the previous year's article at TFA on the date of the final of this years event. The 2022 event finishes on Monday 2nd May. I hope this is suitable. If this doesn't promote in time, I'll get a blurb together for one of the other FAs for this topic in its stead.
