There. It is done. To say that the Yule 2008 Beer Blog Photo Contest and Rodeo was not a startling success would be an utter and complete lie. You would have to be a fibber of the highest degree to suggest that. Frankly, one peep like that and I send in the Daleks - and not the draught serving ones.

I understand I have now forwarded notices to all prize winners and all prize pledgers to ensure the gifts start winging their way...some might already have arrived. If you have not received an email from me over the holidays and you think you have a prize yet to give or one awarded but not noted, please email me at your first opportunity.

And if you want to start thinking about next year's photo contest - not to mention the spring poetry contest - please feel free. I am working on improving my mass emailing coping skills already.
