ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Greetings my fellow bards,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that I am unable to conduct The Copper Croc Awards for this year.

My doctor is referring me to an Opthalmologist asap, as my eyes have something amiss. I am finding it very difficult to type on the pc and have been advised to greatly reduce my time on any pc etc screens for now. I am otherwise feeling well enough, so please do not fear...I hope to be able to conduct the CC Awards next year.

Please do not be offended if I sometimes fail to respond to messages/emails promptly, as I can only 'pop in' to my pc/iPhone messages occasionally, for the time being. I would greatlu appreciate your passing on this info to your other groups, as I am unable to effectively do so just yet.

I thank you all sincerely for your support to date, and apologise for this inconvenience.

Xx Glenny Palmer

Dearest Glenny

Thank you so much for letting us know. I feel for you as I know how much you treasure the chance to organise the Copper Croc each year, and it's a competition we all love to enter.

However, the most important thing is your health, so please don't feel despondent or guilty. Just get those eyes sparkling again, and we'll hopefully all be ready to gear up again next year.

Thoughts are with you.

Love
Shelley

Tank u so much Shelley. Discovered I can manage iPhone keyboard a bit better if i go slowly. Think pc glare is makinf things worse. Was just replying to mail from dear Brenda & saw yr posr so lucky i can reply. What a bummer eh? specially for a writer! I b roarimg to go within a year max resetlled livimg with my daughter in Bris so watch out! Lol. Love to you & all my poet mates. Xx

Don't worry replying Glenny. Have circulated the sad news re the Copper Croc 2017 competition on the web and Facebook.
These screens play havoc with eyes. Catherine Lee went through something similar 2 years ago but after a prolongued rest from computers she recovered. You will too.
May the blessings be dear Glenny.
Love
BJ and Hal

Bless you Brenda. (that's not a wink...its one eye closed...lol)

Best wishes, Glenny. Hope you get well soon.
