Although not a very successful draft test from a qualifier viewpoint, Newf-FLA were able to add a new test site to their rotation. On Saturday the qualifiers were:-


Left to Right: Judge Sue Raney, Janice Hoffenberg and Diva, Gerri Willis and her team of Henley and Stella, Gordita (handled by Gerri Willis) and Wanda Clifford, and Judge Martin Vroegryk.


On Sunday Janice decided to requalify Diva and was kind enough to allow us to mount a camera on the cart. Now we can show you her successfully complete the maneuvering from the Sunday test.

I also ordered it so I know first hand that it was inedible.

I spoke to the general manager of the restaurant, and after he looked into my complaint, he acknowledeged that the meal had been improperly prepared. He has apologized for the mistake and inconvenience. Anybody who attended the dinner and had ordered the beef will be hearing from us soon.
