Early Falcon National's Event Coordinator Ben Holt said, "the support from the local community in preparing for the event and accommodating our needs has been outstanding. Having a local Early Falcon owner in Hedley Nicholson has been a real boost to this event, and I'm sure that Hedley is looking forward to showing off his home town to the rest of the Club".
