Many thanks to everyone who has supported this thread during 2003, please support the new thread created by little woman

Its approaching a year since I started this thread and I have decided that its time for me to step down after the December competition. I hope that someone else will volunteer to keep the competition going. Thanks to everyone who has participated, it has been good fun.

Owl, if you are 'retiring' from this activity at the end of the year
and have not yet found someone to succeed you, I would like to propose Little Woman as your successor, if she is willing to accept the job. I am sure
she would do a superb job, just as you have done this year.
Anyhow, enjoy your 'retirement'!

Thanks midknight - I see you didn't put yourself forward!

I must admit I have considered it, but there are going to be quite a few times next year (a few days at a time) that I will not be able to do it - and there is a posibility I may have to go away for a few months (but this has been hanging over me for almost a year now, and as time goes by is getting more likely..... )

I agree owl, you have done an excellent job and wish you could take it on for another year????????

LW: I haven't put my name forward because I am away for several months every year.

GEOFFCOW 4595 END DECEMBER

By my reckoning Iain wins again.

For December: 4507 please.

I'll go for 4435
