Bobbit, you get to go to the naughty corner and learn how to spell "implement"

You are not the boss of me and I'm still far enough away to do what I like and I'm only going because I choose to ok.
Yes Boss !!!
Or should I say Angel In Charge

Re: Bronze Swagman Award results for 2011
Just in the door from the Snowy Mountains of Music to read my email and discover that David Campbell has taken out this years Bronze Swagman Award.
How absolutely wonderful. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving recipient. (or finer gentleman)
Well done, and (it goes without saying) well written. I will be waiting for a read of the winning poem.
I would also like to add my hearty well done to......
Don Adams of New Zealand, (who is a frequent place winner and contributor to our competitions here in Oz) coming runnner up. Great result Don.
And especially to our own Leonie Parker (she who said that every story had been written and there were no new ideas!) who has been awarded a HC.
Well done to the others who have been awarded HCs.

Hi Zondrae
I'm blushing...something like the colour you've used...but many thanks! It was a good weekend from another perspective, too. I don't know whether you've caught up with the news, but our NFF mutual friend Jenny Markwell won the Leonard Teale Performance Comp. at Gulgong with one of my poems ('A Letter Home...September 14, 1946'). She's over the moon, and I'm right chuffed!
Cheers
David

Re: Bronze Swagman Award results for 2011
G'day David,
Yes I had heard. What great news on both fronts. I had been away at the Snowy Mountains festival and the first thing I did when getting in the door was check my email to find the Bronze Swagman results then on to facebook to ask how Jenny went. I am so delighted to see 'nice people' winning. It disproves the old adage that 'nice guys come last'. I look forward to reading the poem when it is released.
Again Well done.

Re: Bronze Swagman Award results for 2011
Thank you Irene, and welcome Jenny! Great to have you on board, although I must issue a brief word of warning:
There’s poets left and poets right,
plus north and south, clear out of sight.
There’s poets here and poets there,
there’s flamin’ poets everywhere!
But don’t get fussed, it’s lots of fun,
so don’t get thrown by anyone.
There’s just one thing we’ve had to ban…
oh damn! That fourth line doesn’t scan!
Cheers
