Marshall & Sterling Classes

Please note that M&S classes require three exhibitors to complete the course in order to receive M&S points.  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.
