:ausflag: I'm hereby declaring the 2012 Australia Day pen swap officially open.:fireworks:
Please be sure to register by midnight (Sydney time) on January 25 2012 so I can include you in the swap partners matchup draw.
The swap partners will be drawn and posted to the forum by 9 am Sydney time on Australia Day 2012 (which is 26 January for those who have trouble remembering dates).
If you are unlikely to complete the swap on time please do not register as this is unfair and unAustralian and just not proper :hmmm: see further below!
This is open to all our overseas friends so please join in.
Everyone is welcome, whether you're a beginner or a world renowned expert, you can join in. The more the merrier. It is a great way to make new friends and to expand your horizons. :shake: Please let your pen turning friends know. :phone1:

OS or DOM (preference)
Country of Origin.
On 26 January 2012, I'll randomly (and scientifically!) match swap partners.
After the draw is made contact your partner, make a pen and send it post haste, blanks can also be exchanged if desired, that's between you and your partner. The swap is open to all styles of pens, discuss with your partner. Please complete all swaps by 31st March 2012
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
Keep in contact with your swap partner, we all know stuff happens, communicate if there is a delay.
:fineprint:
NEW Rule:
If you didn't complete your part of the swap last year then you cannot join in. If you nominate for this swap and don't complete, you will be precluded from participating in any future swaps. :((
Please PM or email me if you if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I may or may not respond depending on red wine, my biorhythms etc. :D
Go forth and make pens :kang:
