Thanks for the detailed responses and explanations Jan.

Seems to me that the best way to achieve maximum attendance would be to schedule it so that there are no conflicts, anything during the nationals has major conflicts, obviously cost issue would seem to not suggest a completely standalone event, but surely it could be attached to a regional as with the senior trials or just put with the open trials which would basically eliminate the cost issue, do not know about meetings, but was there discussion of holding it at a regional in stead?

Yea, terrible idea to schedule the trials for those dates, probbably that many of the potential participants will have commitments for the GNTs
