By the way, is this another case of you funny Brits spelling the place differently then pronouncing it?

Like I would read that as "Bi-chester"
But I expect the pronounciation to be more like "Blester"?

I want to lie to you now Nick and tell you it's pronounced Blister (something annoying on your foot)   >:D

It actually comes from an old Anglo-saxon word for

How do you think “Cannes” (as in the “Cannes film festival” in France) is pronounced?

Something like “Kan”.

Magentus, you'll need to be very careful this year at the meet. Your green chair will have gone full wild by now, it could be lurking waiting to take its revenge for being left behind  :pok:
