No idea how long the RR end of year awards have been going for,but it must be 4 or 5 years, if my memory serves me right, without the FRA having an end of year award.
No problem with having an official awards ceremony, maybe at a Christmas party? but I still feel that all 3 EO's should have been consulted and had their input into the nominated categories. After all surely the awards are about the year and not just the UK Champs event? And I accept that Robo Challenge are in the best position to judge the Featherweight category,but at the same time there are machines that for whatever reason decided not to attend or could not attend the UK Champs.
