IISis2: And the Winners are...

Hi all

I went to Paul Mayo's (author/creator of Star Atlas: PRO) house tonight for the draw of the IISis2 competition, to celebrate the 2nd birthday of IceInSpace!

And the winners are...

1st Place

Rob


2nd Place

FNQ_View


3rd Place

EzyStyles


Congratulations to the winners for picking up the great prizes on offer, and thanks very much to the generous sponsors who donated prizes in order to make this competition happen! Please show your support to them, for showing their support to the IceInSpace community!

I'll be contacting the winners via PM and they will have 1 week to respond and acknowledge their prize and give me their address and contact details.

Thanks to everyone who entered the competition and helping to celebrate the 2nd birthday of IceInSpace!

I'll be updating the IISis2 page with the winners info over the next few days.

Below is a picture of the draw, taken by Scott Alder (tornado33) in Paul's awesome observatory. Was great to chew the fat with you guys tonight, look forward to catching up again soon!

Congratulations to the winners and well done everyone who had a go. A real buzz permeates IIS during the comp season, making it the place to be.

Err, Mike, what happened to the Barrel Hat?

Cheers

Dennis

Talking yay!

Thanks heaps to Mike and the other organisers, and the sponsors. I'll really enjoy all the new toys! I have been struggling away with a film camera so the CCD camera will be a godsend.

Cheers,
Rob

Congrats to all of the winners-

That would be the 3 with new toys, all of the other contestants, and everybody else that uses and operates this website!

Way to go Rob, FNQ, and Ezy, enjoy the toys - just remember to share. Mike and company keep up the good work, this is birthday number two of many.
