Forum awards 2024

Post by MacV2 »

So despite a complete lack of paying attention to the posted instructions by some & a general lack of attendance...

The nominations have been collated & polls will be posted shortly.


It's that time of year again folks...

Cant be arsed to make up any new awards so copied the list from a previous year.

The Best FireStorm...

Best Non Firestorm...

Best Forum Meet up...

Operation Storm Highlight 2024...

Least Progress/Most anticipated Project.

Tinkerer of the year...

For the Partner having to put up with the VTR obsessed Forum member.



As per the normal... Pay attention at the back...I'm looking for nominations for the above Awards.

Once they have been collated, polls will be posted for each one. That's when you vote !

Once the polls have closed the votes will be counted & the results announced at the fictious Forum Awards Ceremony, sometime in 2025.

As per previous years the counting will be done by me with Frank as adjudicator...

FFS FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS...

Copy & paste the above highlighted sections into a new post & then add you feckin nominations to that post then post it.

I will then collate the nominations & put up separate polls for each Award... some time next week.










There may or may not be some voting adjustments/tampering by El Presidente...

All I could add would be the Spanish trip that Al McQ and I selflessly subjected ourselves to (on your behalf) last October, in the best forum meetup category.

But I suspect there would only be two votes at best!

Poor effort Mons...I need to see your full workings.

Now pay attention. Just because your sitting at the back of class doodling Motorcycles instead of reading the text books & workshop manuals do not count as text books...
