This is a reminder to all branches that class 95 is the prestigious branch champion award and this one is voted by the membership.
only one entry per branch and they have to be registered in the same way any other competition entry. so all branch members get your entry in before the deadline of 3rd November. Tony.

Tony, please could you clarify a question about this class. Does the 'Cannot enter it on subsequent years apply' to Class 93 like individual entries. e.g. Does a Branch Champion contender have to entered during the same year's competition? If say, a model was entered by an individual on their own behalf this year, and the branch wished to enter another model they felt was a better entry into this class this year, how would that model stand if the branch wanted to enter it the following year? Would it be ineligible? Or would the only way around this be to not enter a model this year and enter it as an individual as well as a branch entry (if chosen by the branch) the following year. I am asking this question as a bit of a Devil's Advocate really as given another scenario a branch may have chosen a model to enter some time prior to the competition, and another model gets completed just in time for SMW that an individual has entered, that a branch might like to enter the following year but may be precluded from doing so due to the rules as they appear to stand.

Noel it is a good point and a little bit confusing with regards to being eligible. for this class only, if the model is the one that branch want to enter and this model has been entered in previous years then this is acceptable. reason being is that it is the branch that is entering this class, this model will not be eligible to be entered into any of the other trophies as this is the UK branch champion award only. i know this may seem that a model can be entered twice but it is not acceptable in any other trophies so limiting that model to one class only.

To date on the Branch Champion class. i have had ONE branch enter!!!! Obviously this is not drawing the branches to enter and if there is a low amount in this class for two consecutive years then i will have to look at dropping this class. so come on branches you have all been reminded about this.

at the close of registration which was last night. there have been 11 branches who have entered models in the branch champion class. well done to those who have entered. don't forget that this class is voted on by the IPMS members and voting slips will be available for all members. fill them in and then give them to myself or any one of the competition staff. see you all at the weekend.
