Sycamore Stud Live 2018

I have about three shows to update you on but we will start with the most recent :)

Sycamore Stud Live was held last Saturday and is always a rather unusual show. The show has three original finish sections split between Vintage (models produced before 2000), Modern Vintage (moulds produced before 2000 but in a colourway produced after 2000) and Original Finish (moulds produced after 2000).

The show also has a CTF section for all makes and models :) and a fun and performance section at the start of the show.

There is always a little bit of confusion (and a lot of googling during the show) but it went well and it is wonderful to allow the older models to get out and compete :D

And before you say, wait a minute Wintersong wasn't produced before 2000?!?! The Porcelain Othello was!

Modern OF Championship

This is for moulds produced after 2000 (btw the vintage includes those produced in 2000, so this is really 2001+). It also included Commercial China & Resin.
