I thought I would ask as it has been more popular than anyone envisaged how are you coping with this great influx of wonderful items and projects??

perhaps some people could opt out to make it easier.
I for one don't like the competitive part. I might have shown more if it wasn't for the thought of having the table judged.

Don't worry, the judges will have all the time they need to make their decision.

It's going to be a mammoth task, but I know our judges are up to it.

I don't envy their job though.

It is a Mammoth task.... rather more Mammoth than I had expected! We'll try to get it done as quickly as we can though. I had naively thought that I would be able to more or less watch everything as it came in, but there's far more than I anticipated!

Let's just keep it all fun and light and then I'm sure everything will be ok.

Speaking for myself - it IS a lot of stuff to be looking at, but it's very much a labour of love, and Steve, Roly and myself seem to be very much in agreement about things.
However - this event is about the taking part, not about winning. ONE person will get a prize, which will be for the most significant contribution to the weekend, but there will be quite a few honorary mentions as well.

Being able to participate has been a big enough prize for me, IMHO we are all winners.

I originally intended to see everything as it came in and just do a quick review at the end. That idea's gone out the window and I'm only seeing about 50% live. I'm glad the tables will be locked at the end so I can catch up.

Tis amazing, I placed something on my table less than half an hour ago, since then 11 other members have put things on theirs.

I hope the sheds are locked at the end, BUT the chat shed should stay open for a while to come surely?

Im with John, the taking part has been the thrill, and I will sure trust the judges wisdom on their descision.
