Done.

Good luck with the PR counts.

Plaques:-

I have had a very kind offer from Daven (who made the plaques for the 2011 Challenge) to make similar plaques for the 2014 Challenge for the cost of materials and postage of the plaques to me. Many thanks, Daven =D> =D> =D>

Plaques:-
This will mean that we only need very modest, and entirely voluntary, contributions from entrants to help meet these costs. Please donate what you can, but certainly no more than £5, to me, either by PayPal gift to [email protected] or PM me for my snail mail address if you prefer.

Done.
Not sure when my entries will start, not got the lathe yet. You can consider the extra 1p to be a bribe (pressed the wrong button really)

I might (or might not) be easily bribed but I am not too sure that the princely sum of 1p will materially affect the scoring!! LOL!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is not a question of 'you'. I was expecting that to be shared out between all the judges.

Will there be another scoreboard next year. I enjoyed watching this year's up to date one.

Mine has winged it's way to you as we'll. Did I hear you say these are backdated to the 2013 challenge? :lol:

Yes; I think it is the only way I will be able to keep track of Judge's and Entrants' scores each month and running totals.

As of 10pm today, I have received donations totalling £33.01 towards the funding of a monthly prize and overall winner - many thanks for those who have contributed. =D> =D> =D> There is still time for further donations, but I think we have the basis for a plaque for each month's winner, plus an overall highest points scorer for the year.

I aim to publish the details of the January Challenge by the end of December, so entrants can take advantage of the holiday period to make a start. :lol: :lol:

Happy New Year to all you woodturners out there!

Donations now up to a total of a fraction over £40.

I have tried to thank everyone who has donated by PM; but there is one forum member that I cannot thank in this way, as I do not know their forum Username. You will know who you are - so thank you anyway!! =D> =D> =D>
