April and May are always busy as the NAF Five Star Winter Championships kick off the summer season.

I particularly enjoy watching the silver sections at championships – often more so than the headline classes, because you can spy the stars of the future. Many of this year’s gold section winners – like Sadie Smith and Dannie Morgan – won their first national titles in those classes, and it was good to see them paying it forward.
