I think a lot will depend on which bands choose to go to Blackpool next year.
With the Spring Festival being moved back by a couple of weeks, it means that the two contests are almost on top of each other. It would be a very tall order to do both the Spring Festival and the Masters in 2007.
Having played at the Masters when it was the All England and since it is the International, I think that it is still a very good and well organised contest. It is a fantastic and friendly day out too!
It is a real shame that the coveted Euro qualification place was awarded to the New English Championships when the Masters was pushing so hard for it for years.
Although I have a recording of the test piece for 2007, I have not had a chance to listen to it yet. I have heard conflicting opinions on it though!!
