Personally, I like competitions. I like getting the feedback from the judges. I dont enter A&S competitions much because they havent had competitions involving things that I am terribly interested in. I believe this coronet has one that I am interested in. I think it is medieval remedies. If I can get my butt in gear, I would like to enter that one. Usually if I enter any competition it is brewing, again it is mostly for the feedback, as I am probably the least competitive person I know, but it does give me an opportunity to see how I am doing.

I would be very sad to see that happen. I may not always enter them, but I do like having the option. I am less inclined to do something for a demonstration. I like the impartiality of someone being able to critique what I have done without me standing there. I can always go to them later if I have questions, but if I am standing there I feel that they would be more apt to temporize what they were going to say.

I think this is an excellent idea!
