    I have had a number of conversations with one of the AWTEX committee members answering his questions about why they don't see many entries from FNQ. Postage/freight costs and the high potential for damage in transit are big factors. To my knowledge only Powderpost & myself have entered in the past few years from FNQ and another turner from central QLD. I know a few from SE QLD & Brisbane enter. All have done well enough over the years and all have promoted the AWTEX comp to other turners. Without the likes of Ken Wraight and Vic Wood visiting the Proserpine Turnout, promoting AWTEX and Ken bringing his prize winning AWTEX entries many of us would not have even heard of AWTEX. Our participation has been a positive contribution, or perhaps negative to some when they see prize money heading north. ;-).

    Heard on the grapevine that there are another bumper crop of entries this year so it promises to be a great exhibition. Now that's good news and very definitely positive.

    That's look really interesting. My mind is racing to think how you came about with the design.

    Posted in an other thread today regarding the exhibition.

    I was pleased to see that a number of forumnites had entered and their entries were judged to be of a very high standard and indeed Powderpost won best of show. Congratulations Jim well done.

    The Exhibition now has a new website and the catalogue and the final results of the exhibition as well as some photos are on their website.

    Like previous years I took some photos for posting here but unfortunately my camara played up and they are not good enough quality to do justice to the entries. However a DVD showing all the entries can be ordered from the committee.

    Peter.

    An excellent result Jim. It must be very satisfying and
    enjoyable considering the many hours you must spend in
    perfecting your techniques.

    Well deserved!

    Just got home to where the temperatures are realistic and fit for human habitation. I am pleasantly surprised by the result. I thank all those wonderful people that have sent their congratulations, I do appreciate the thought. I also appreciate very much the hospitality of Julie and , the bearded one.
