ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

G'day all,

It is great to see members of the forum doing so well in written competitions.
I have just received the results of the Charlee Marshall comp in the mail.

Congratulations to:
Terry Piggott for his win and also a HC
David Campbell for Second
Brenda Joy for achieving two HC awards

and (get out the fanfare) Bob Pacey for an Encouragement Award for his poem 'The Day I Rode me rover'.

It gives me pleasure to see people that I have met, (or know from this site,) that I know put much effort and time into their poems, having their work rewarded. It was a delight to see Terry, who has been polishing this poem for quite a while, receive something back for all his sweat. Good on you Terry. My wish for you is that inspiration hit you again when next you 'go bush'....

..... they also informed me my entry was too late.

Congratulations all!
Robyn

Thanks Zondrae - Where were you this year?

Late!

My entry was sent the day they closed the comp (and by the conditions of entry) I was too late. I have also missed out in sending into the Dunedoo comp. Oh well serves me right. I should be more aware of closing dates. I might add ..... I must not have anything I think a contender or I would be watching more carefully.
Good to see the 'nice' people winning.

('nice' is such an inadequate word but I can't think of an alternative.)

Congratulations to the winners but they should know never to encourage me !!! LOL


WOW Zondrae that's great. I only put it in at the last minute as I have not done so for a few years.


Should have gone out for a drive Biloela is only two hours away.

Cheers Bob

Good on you mob - lovely to see our mates winning and grinning -Well done everyone.

Cheers

Maureen

That's fine Zondrae, Keep sending in late and that gives the rest of us a chance.

Congratulations everyone on your successes, I've got my act together a little to enter some comps this year....

Hi Zondrae,

Thanks for the kind words and also to all the other well wishers.

And congratulations to all the other winners.

I'm in Canberra at the moment and having computer problems - more later

Cheers Terry

Congrats Terry on your win! Well done mate . . . hope the ACT full of weird weather and weirder public servants hasn't thrown you off too much. Goodonya!

David Campbell . . . lift your game son! You're letting the Campbell Clan down with a lowly second
