Business end of the final week of the April POM period - reminder that nominations close on Sunday evening and the vote will start Sunday night.
Also, reminder that Madrid counts for May period - which shouldn't matter now as no one made progress in qualies, so nothing of substance to report!!

Whoever nominated Luca and Hannak K, think about whether you would like to update their nomination narrative in light of subsequent events? Hannah in girls final at ALdershot and Luca lost in boys semis...feels like Hannah has done well across all 4 weeks of this month based on what I can see above?!
