Should the form say Age 7 / 8 not Age 8 / 9

Hi Andy, it's confusing I know but I'll try to explain. The age of someone competing in the Shrimps gala is calculated at the age they will be at the end of the competition year which is the 31st December 2018. So if you were born between 1st Jan 2009 and 31st Dec 2009 you would be competing as a 9 year old. If you were born between 1st Jan 2010 and 31st Dec 2010 you would be competing as an 8 year old, even though you may not have reached that age yet. Hope that makes sense :)

I agree about the form, much confusion and an upset daughter when she realised she wasn't actually eligible to compete :(
