Kapitol Promotions have confirmed a change in the adjudication line-ups for the forthcoming Cheltenham National Finals.

Swap

Two adjudicators are swapping roles for their respective sections over the weekend of Saturday 14th — Sunday 15th September.

Andrea Price will now be adjudicating the Section 2 Final, with Nicholas Garman changing to the Section 3 Final due to a family commitment that has arisen since his initial appointment. Kapitol has thank Andrea for agreeing to the move.

Revised line-up:

Section 1: Roger Argente, Dr Robert Childs, Alan Morrison
Section 2: Dr Brett Baker, Ian Porthouse, Andrea Price
Section 3: Nicholas Garman, John Maines, Sandy Smith
