Hi All,

Thanks again for another great month of virts.
This months comp was soooooo close! So close in fact I will announce a winner and then 3 runners up!

This months winner is Aaron_Tas

Our runners up are Jamie (2nd virt)
Skippy
JayC

Thanks to all who entered - keep the entries rolling in each month - it is a lot of fun seeing so many different interpretations.

Aaron - Get yourself off to the prize cupboard and make your selection.

I have Bonsai Focus #122 and #123 available -- #124 is on its way from Europe if you want to wait. (Backissues are unavailable for this comp - they charge more for backissues - its ridiculous!)

Thanks again - and I promise to have some awesome material for our next month - lets see if we can get over 20 entries!!

Cheers,
Leigh.
Cheers,
Leigh.

Congrats Aaron! Chose your prize wisely.

I was suprised how fun this was. I really enjoyed this excersize. Perhaps you have a new "regular" now :)

Thanks Leigh!
