[Jett129]

A well deserved congratulations to everyone that participated. I’ve become a big fan of @weftyarn photography on the photography thread,so I’m happy to see that he won. So many great pictures and stories.

[Nik]

Great result, congratulations to the well deserved winners and thanks to the organisers. That was fun.

Loved following along to this series! I'd love to see this happen a couple of times a year tbh. Thank you everyone who put this on and who submitted photos 

[vaquero357]

…Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

[ARNC]

Nothing really to add to the congratulations and thanks except more of the same. Even for people (like me) who never had any prospects this was a lot of fun.

[weftyarn]

Wow!!! this came unexpected, really. There were so many phenomenal contributions!

I don’t even know what to say except that I just feel honored and happy.
This has really quickly turned from a contest into just having fun and getting to know each other.

Already looking forward to many more threads and posts
and maybe even making it to Gosport for the 20th anniversary

Thanks, y’all!

Me with that "just dropped the kids off at school and have the whole day off" glow all over my face.

On a personal level, this was one of my favourite posts. That huge grin of sheer pleasure on @chrisjohnnick, post school run resonated deeply with me 

[weftyarn]

@Denimminer UHF dog, @Wormspice one finger salute and @Kasi were hilarious!

Im also still blown away by @Gammaman Xray.

@Jett129 Really glad you liked my pictures!
having seen all the good stuff here, I encourage everyone to post in the photography thread.

[Matt]

Congratulations everyone.

Ha thanks! Yea, I do all the school dropoffs and pickups, and am with at least one of the kids for the entire day. Once every couple of weeks or so, I get the whole day to myself while the youngest is with a sitter. It's such a glorious feeling. I used to stress and plan how to maximize the day and be the most productive. Lately, I've just started doing whatever I felt like doing that day in the moment. It's so simple, but way more satisfying.

Dude I do not miss that! Now that my kids are bus age it’s like see ya you little shits. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

[jordanscollected]

This was amazing guys.

I couldn’t have imagined a better effort from the forum members for this contest. I can say, as stated by folks during the competition, being a judge is not easy nor fun.

That said, we had a bunch of fun ideas gathered in similar camps to this one, and there’s always a possibility to have another go.

Thank you all, Jeff

This thread was fun to watch. Hoping it becomes a thing that happens every so often. Congrats to the top 3

[mitchellvilla]

Wow, thank you everyone!
That was such a fun competition, it was really enjoyable ending each day checking out everybody's photos.

[Giles]

Thanks to everyone who participated and special thanks to @neph93 and @jordanscollected for the inspired idea….

[neph93]

Thanks everyone, for the kind words. We already have a plan for the next competition, which will be something rather different, but no less fun (in fact, it is potentially funny af).

In the meantime we may well do a WAYWT League with honour and glory as prizes, just as an interlude

[Kasi]

Another one, shall be fun when the times comes…

Funny one am good at that.

[jerkules]

Really enjoyed this contest. Well done to the top 3, thoroughly deserved.

And thank you Reuben, Jeff and the crew for organising/judging - looking forward to the next!

[Aetas]

Great choice of winners and thanks to the curating team @neph93 and @jordanscollected .
