Congratulations to all entrants, winners & organisers.
Thanks for the diary updates everyone. They have been great for those of us who were unable to make it.
It's obviously been a spectacular event.
Sincerely hope to make the next one.

There is an interesting story about the sports trophy.

The trophy has lived at my place since the Perth Nats. This is actually the 2nd trophy. We still don,t know where the original trophy is. The ACT club had this one made up for the Jindabyne Nats from memory. We won it at Orange then carted it to Perth only to bring it back to the ACT. It was never engraved from either Nats. I forgot to take it to Tassie. When we were at Wangaratta on the way down I remembered it. Wangaratta is a 5 hour drive for us. We discussed it and decided not to do anything about it as we would probably bring it home again anyway. (Sorry about that bit).

Dave Potter, anawares to us, had contacted Jodie, Beetroot on this forum, who was flying down on Good Friday, to go to my place and get the trophy. Luckily we had a house sitter, she was contacted and arrangements made for Jodie to pick up the trophy. Now, we could'nt pass on an unengraved trophy, so Jode made arrangements for the trophy to be engraved. There was a problem with the nameplate so the plate on the trophy is now a new one from scratch.

Because Jodie was flying and the size of the trophy and because of the engraving problem the trophy was now in pieces. Which was fine because it now fitted in her luggage. So Jodie arrived in Hobart with a trophy in her bags. When I turned up to inspect the trophy it was late, I had had a couple of drinks, it was all wrapped up in pieces and I attempted to assemble it. Now because Jode was tired and I was being pushy I was told to P off and come back tomorrow. It was then that it was discovered that we needed a 7/16" long socket to tighten it all. Of course no- one had one, so the hunt went on. One was found and the trophy was presented.

Queenslanders: enjoy the trophy.

 We wondered why the base keeps falling off but we will have it fixed for Toowoomba in 2 years.

Didn't the blue-tac work?

The moral being never attempt to reassemble a trophy with pear juice on board, eh Col?

[colt]

Hmmm. Yep, that pear juice is good stuff.

While we were at Hobart, Tony Galea told me that the original sports trophy is at his place....

I think Tim & Bec also carted the new trophy across the Nullarbor. It's probably travelled the Nullarbor more than most of us!

Cheers,

Campbell Newman (qld premier) passed legalisation that the transportation of trophies out of Queensland is now and always will be forbidden.

[Old_Mt_Isa_Boy]

It wasn't Newman that passed the law it was his mate Jarrod Bleijie The Attorney-General. He seems to make new laws while he sleeps. Sorry southerners that's an inside joke.

It's ok. Now we know where  the original trophy is we can use that again. It won't fall apart either.
