There has been so much to appreciate and so much to applaud that the difficulty comes in narrowing it down to individuals. The joy of the challenge, for me at any rate, is its collaborative nature, the mutual encouragement in good times and bad to simply do one's best. Personally, I am delighted to have chanced upon success in some of the theme rounds and thank Lady Sarah for her kind words and nomination for one more final flurry, but perhaps my greatest achievement has been to inadvertently persuade young Richard C to dust of his brushes and return to the fray. I have discovered that Richard has quite a competitive streak in him and imagine that a side challenge or two will be issued next year. Finally, I must thank Curt, I simply don't know how you manage it, but grateful that you do! ;)Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-54113117539192687792015-04-14T00:09:53.181-06:002015-04-14T00:09:53.181-06:00My poor bleary eyes.

I'm a little speechless right now... <br />Well, I hope nobody exspects me to hold a speech right now ;-)<br />Just let me say how happy I'am to see people actually enjoyed viewing some of my work. A big thank you and well done goes to all other winners and participants for all the wonderful stuff I had the plesure to marvel at over the last three months. <br />Once again a big thank you to our ingenious captain the infamous Mr. Snowlord who steered as all safely through the stormy watrs that were this years challenge. Thanks for staging this fantastic show. Many thanks also to the lovely Mrs Snowlord for her continued support of her hubby.<br />Well... ok... I think that's enough laurels for everybody to rest on for the next 9 months so I'm looking forward to see youall again in the next challenge. <br /><br />-Over and out-Moiterei_1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808567081733803572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-38183065370356063012015-04-13T13:27:37.065-06:002015-04-13T13:27:37.065-06:00I heartily endorse the previous comments, not only...I heartily endorse the previous comments, not only on the the well deserved accolades (Martin N's medieval figures were a delight to behold), but also on the style, efficiency and all-round pleasantry of the Challenge and the way Curt has managed it all. I am afraid your work is not finished yet Curt. You'll have to re-draw the Threshold III prize as I (sadly) didn't manage 1000 points. As the late, great Richie Benaud once said "Glenn McGrath, out for two - just ninety eight runs short of his century." I look forward to seeing some of you at Salute, the rest of you, I hope to see next December!<br /><br />Pip pipProvost Marshalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066361605695021590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-50884545218776678452015-04-13T11:51:23.347-06:002015-04-13T11:51:23.347-06:00Thank you, Curt, for the work of harnessing the Ch...Thank you, Curt, for the work of harnessing the Challenge and to Mrs C for allowing the intrusion! ;) It was very fun, and I look forward to crossing warclubs...er BRUSHES!

I hope this years self made entries eased some of the burden but I'm sure it's still a monumental task that I'm grateful they choose to bear it each year.<br /><br />Thanks to all the participants who make this event such a joy to participate in. I find it really does lift some of the winter "blues" as well as make a dent in our respective lead mountains.<br /><br />Lastly, it appears, Mr Millsy, that the settling of our side duel will be postponed to next year's challenge. You are a most wily and worthy opponent but in the spirit of our desperate struggle we must both retire to our secret lairs and prepare for our next clash. May your spreadsheets be cursed with untraceable circular references!<br /><br />I hope everyone has a great summer in the Northern Hemisphere and a mild winter in the Southern one!<br /><br />Thanks<br />Milesjmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-86658167423632828192015-04-13T05:07:22.583-06:002015-04-13T05:07:22.583-06:00Thanks Curt it was a pleasure.
