Thanks Rhonda. As I have said before, we are an association which to me means that we associate and my old thesaurus entry has, associate ; keep company, unite, friend , ally.
I like to try and follow that way, I think that was the original intention of those who started the association.
It's been good for me, I've made some great friends and managed to learn a bit about poetry (and learn that I am hopeless at public performance :) ). But I hope I have been able to at least encourage others along the way.

Let's keep our thing going.

So the story that the forum shut down so we weren't subjected to another one of Bob Pacey's State of Origin poems is a conspiracy theory? ;)

Yes, like Pacey's ultimate Origin victory, it's only a theory.

Thanks, Rhonda. I have to confess I had no idea about any of this!

I am quite amazed by all the hard work that is going on behind the scenes. Thank you to all those who are working so hard to ensure the continuing success of the Forum.
