Thank you, thank you… I’d like to thank my mum for not being there to support me on my travels, my dad for sarcastic emails that keep me from going home and all my friends and family for not knowing anything about this, my first ever victory…
Oh no!
Hang on a minute…

Sorry Ant, maybe you can save the acceptance speech for next time.
Andy, congratulations. will get the book out to you next week.
Just discovered myself how wonderful it is to win something - won a copy of Rolf Potts ‘Macro Polo Didn’t Go There’…looking forward to reading and reviewing as soon as it hits the post.

Congrats, Liz. Must be a karma thing. I was hoping for a win as well, but I guess I can’t be too greedy, eh?
