The Phantom has strength in UK and in selecting events we ought to support that local involvement.
Scotland = YES !
I'm only sorry to have had to miss this year's Scottish Nationals, but don't have any feelings about the French event that fell-through.
If I'd wished to focus-on-foreign, I'd have stuck with an International Class like the Contender; I've just returned from a happy week Fireballing in Italy; great time, but NOT for Phantoms.
