"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries."
In other words: Everything is ready to rock for this year's running of GNAC – don't miss it.
The format for the event will be much the same as in recent years – why change a winning formula?
