Masterclass

Richard will present his Geneva Cardinal masterclass during the mid-point comfort break in the Championship Section at 1.00pm.

The initiative forms part of the groups continued commitment to the banding movement — one that has already seen them release a series of videos that chart the history and heritage of the compony as well as spotlights on its leading endorsees and artists.
