I actually won a ticket from CW for the only test at one of the English grounds. Unfortunately couldn't go, so gave it to a friend. :(

I appear to have bodged with my scheduling here. I'm afraid I won't be able to access a proper computer over the weekend, so either results Will have to wait until Monday, or I'll need a volunteer to help out. Sorry about this.
