Look forward to seeing you there Tom, and meeting up with others from the forum. Had a lovely chat with Mrs Spud earlier today, sounds like a great weekend coming up.

Cheers
Sue

My lips are sealed Marty

Oh,

Me too. Yep. Spud and Mrs Spud are keeping our room warm. Looking forward to an exciting weekend. Hoping to cease the chance to put faces to names of fellow site contributors.

Greg North said he will be there.. I know him, and Joe also Graeme Johnson, and I've met MartyB so that's a start.
Will get to meet Sue and perhaps Bill and who knows who else. I'm sorry I didn't make it last year when they had separate sections for ladies and gents. Exciting times ahead. I hope Laurie MacDonald comes along, he is very entertaining and maybe Peter Mace. Better stop now.

Wish I could be there it sounds like a great weekend, I feel a bit of a miser as I only entered one poem.
Anyway all you lucky people have a great time, as I'm sure you will.

Never know Terry one is sometimes enough if it is the right one.


I'm not going.


You southern buggers have all the fun.




Robert

Your right Bob,
The trick is getting the right poem into the right comp. (assuming the poems good enough in the first place)

Terry

it is a vicious bug Marty, so long as it does not consume your life


You will do bloody well mate.


Bob

A lot of truth in what you're saying there Bob, and it applies to any type of competition.
I sometimes think the people who do their own thing for the sheer enjoyment of it, regardless of what it is, are the ones who get the most out of it.
I've always felt that sharing a poem (either written or recited with an appreciated audience) is as good as it gets mate.

Despite that Marty all the best in your first foray into the comps, may the force be with you.

Cheers Terry

G'day Tom...
Look forward to seeing you again at Crookwell. Morisset is a pretty tough act to follow isn't it, but I'm sure the Wool Wagons will be great. Plus the bonus for me will be getting to meet Zondrae, Mummsie and Martyboy in person. Bewdy!

We're off to Sydney tomorrow for a wedding, then will wander down to Crookwell.
See you there.

Cheers, Will.
