It's World Champs time!
We have one man to thank for the 2009 WMRC event gaining Championship status, the late Danny Hughes. He was instrumental in getting a greater recognition for the event and it is thanks to Danny that this year the event will gain a higher global standing and media recognition…
Danny Hughes - a tireless president
