    Remember from the first post invite:

    When your partner's swap is received, take a photo and post to the forum (and brag about the nice wood you've received). We'll set up another thread for these photos etc
    Please PM or email me if you if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I may or may not respond depending on my mood etc.

    Let's have fun!
    Remember if you have any problems, difficulties, disasters etc please contact me

    And thanks to all those whom put up their hand to do an extra pen to balance the numbers!
    We ended up with 46 Aussies and 48 mates from foreign climes!


    * The pairings were completely randomised using the voodoo of microsoft excell. If anybody wants to know how PM me

    regards

    Thanks for the efforts.

    Is everything ok with the pairings?

    I see several people are listed three times, at least one person listed five times.
