Huge effort WWW. Great comp and many thanks for running it. Congrats to the podium (who basking in sunshine clearly have plenty of time to study the form... LOL) Most memorable stat..... Rocky handing us (Cairns) our butt when it came to rain. Most memorable quote .... "I beat Popeye".

WWW another great year - the suspense was almost too much!! Wow - just missed the podium. Congrats to the winners - well deserved by all of you. Thank you also to the generous folk supplying prizes this year. Things, I will most happily accept a consolation prize - handcrafted with skill and attention to detail my key new key chain will take pride of place in the key bowl I'm sure.

I've been in touch with Nathaniel about claiming his prize. Would the 2 runners up please PM me also and we'll discuss what we can do in terms of some sort of consolation prize given the closeness of the final result.
