Admittedly, it's the smartest part of Bolton, where they actually get out of the bath when they need a pee, but it's helluva long way from Oz!
Surely it can't be any coincidence that so many Brew Cabin Irregulars win these top awards, can it?
Unfortunately, I can't publish the winners' list because the Marshallettes didn't give me any warning to reserve a space in my news schedule, as other awards do's do. By the time the next free page comes around (end of April), it's old news. I told them all this last year, but they've obviously slept since then!
But congrats to all those that walked off with a trophy.
We don't even get out for a number two around here 
I remember when Mick joined up here, he was going to fetch long waits and sky hooks, look how he has polished up. :laugh:

He's on the ceforum as in the uk construction equipment forum where he's equally aggressive to new posters who he feels might be advertising etc

Some real classy stuff there.
That image of the cathedral is amazing, even got the shading right with careful selection of blocks. Don't think I'd have the patience for it.
I've had regional awards every year since first entering,2010, be nice to make it to the national one day but I've only got 18 years left. That's assuming the next Gov. don't move the goalposts again.
You're on a winner with that last one Mick

the standard of workmanship is phenomenal and the bar has certainly been raised considerable over the last 3 years to the extent its so hard to even win a regional award let alone be chosen for the national final, we are very privileged and honoured to have been chosen in the first place
Give Marshalls their due they know how to put on a good show and its certainly a great evening had by all

Hi folks, just saw a tweet of Mick and thought I'd drop in and say hello. My personal favourite project was Mick's project, I thought it was simply stunning.......a class above the rest, as Mick said, the standard was so high the judges must of had a really tough job picking the winner. I was made up to just be there in what was only our 2nd year of entering (same as George from Big Dig) and happy to recieve 'Highly Commended' Great evening and met some cracking people!
PS Thanks Mick for posting the image of our patio, much appreciated
