ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Our Robyn Sykes has been too modest to announce that she won the overall champion of the ladies poetry performance at Dunedoo last weekend.

And with due immodesty I mention that Singleton Bush Poets members got 9 awards at Dunedoo. Trish Paterson got 2nd in the Intermediate performance.

I got nuthin cause I didn't turn up, which is probably no different from the result if I had have turned up.

Mates we just keep knocking them over congratulations all.


Specially trish cause she said one time that she loves me ???


Bob

Oops apology, I didn't mention that I heard that David Campbell won the written comp and Brenda Joy second.

Correction. David 1st in humorous written.

Good Show all round.

TTFN

Congratulations to all. I'm not surprised Robyn won - she's gooood! Go girl!

Heather

I think Tom McIlveen got a HC in the written ( hope I got that right )

Correction, Tom 3rd.

Not quite right, Neville. Yvonne Harper from the magnificently named Coopers Shoot (near Byron Bay) won, with Brenda 2nd and Tom 3rd. I picked up the 'best humorous poem' award. Greg North did the judging. (Heather, you might remember Yvonne from the workshop that Stephen and I ran in Melbourne.)

David

David I remember the name Coopers Shoot. Did she come in a ute or was she beaut? I can't remember?

A big congratulations to all. Now don't stop there Trish onwards and upwards. Well done.

Cheers
Sue

Thanks for the good wishes. Sorry you couldn't be there Neville, would've liked to have met you face-to-face. And I'm pretty sure Tom came away with BOTH third AND HC in the written. He also wrote a quality poem for the poet's brawl - about eagles - that I would've been pleased to put my name to after sweating over for a month!
Cheers
Robyn
