As much as I love being involved with the forum and the comps specifically, a time is coming where my attention has to be fully invested elsewhere. I was recently admitted as an advocate, so next year I am doing the required training, which will take up all my time. Having said that, I have spoken to Norio and V8, and it is decided that as of January 2016, V8 will be taking over the competitions and bringing in his own flavour, pep and zest (sounds like I'm baking here) to the competitions. So congrats V8, I honestly could not think of a better person to do the 'job'. ?arty: I can't wait to see how you will be doing things.

So you will still have me until the end of the year, so lets end on an epic note. Shotgun choosing the next theme ?

Congrats V8!
Good luck with all your endeavours Adrian.

:goodtimes:

Adrian! Thanks for reviving the competitions while you were running them. You did an amazing job and we really owe a lot to you for all your efforts. Thanks so much ?

V8! Thanks so much for taking up the baton. Adrian's right, you're the perfect person for it considering how passionate you are about the comps ?

We're super lucky to have such awesome members to run these things. I'm deeply grateful ?

Great V8 and well done Adrian.

Awww, well thank you Adrian - and everyone - for the kind comments.

Sad to see you go though... :'(

Eeekk, the pressure of following in Adrian's foot steps...the champion who revitalized the challenges this year. If we can keep the ball rolling in a similar fashion, I'll be a happy camper!

Looking forward to your finale...let's make it a rawking one :goodtimes:
