Re: OOC - Longwood awards 2007

Curses. First year I've not won a Longwood!
Guess i'd better quickly re-write my acceptance speech...
I'd like to blame the wife for taking up all my time with weddings
and house-buying and renovating....and will strike down and ban all
the `dwarfer's who failed to vote for me.
How's that?!
Nah seriously though, well done to those who won! And hopefully it
won't be long before I can get more involved and give you all a run
for your money again!
The thing I love about the Longwood's, is the way people, new to the
group or long-running members get to feel appreciated. While the
point of Blue Dwarf may not be to be "the best", but it always nice
for those involved to know that there work is enjoyed by others, and
at the end of the day, it's the other people that make the group
what it is for the individual.
Also, we all get to remember the late DJ Longwood, who sadly, didn't
get the chance to be a long standing member.
