If you have concerns about a M&S class or points, please contact the show manager for the show in question directly.

Marshall & Sterling Classes

GOHJA will run the class if three entries are received and in some cases classes may be combined in order to have at least three entries. However, if three exhibitors do not complete course (i.e. they go off course or fall off), then M&S will not award points for that class.
