I am not sure what effort the GFA has put behind this year's nationals, apart from 'giving' it to the Dalby organisation.
Robert, the value and uses of the GFA is clearly shown by Mike and Emilis's letters. Mike was scathing about the stupidity of handicapped Nationals. Contrarily, Emilis was silkily sarcastic about those who disapproved of handicapped competitions. Their only point of organisational agreement (as always) is that the GFA is useless, USELESS!
The GFA's role is that of the patient parent, stepping between the squabbling children to try to make something actually happen and to stop the gliding movement following its natural path into anarchic dissent. I think two of the GFA's noisiest opponents have demonstrated beautifully a major reason for its existence.
