The categorising this year was so much easier, I have to say - there's a proper system for it now, and it's supported with really good software accessible online. It took me about 1/4 of the time it would normally take - I managed to volunteer for two rounds instead of one, and that's with my 12 hour shifts! Of the pictures I saw this year, the quality was really high - Katherine is right when she says they were gorgeous!
