To help you decide if you’d like to take part, and to understand the level of commitment involved, we’ve detailed the timings and activities from now until judging day. Whilst we hope to be able to include everyone that applies, we’ve had to cap the number of students to 60, in order to ensure the day is enjoyable and most importantly, a safe day for everyone.
