Exclamation **Annoucement** And the winners are...

Went into Bintel this afternoon to draw the winners of the IceInSpace Xmas 2005 Competition, and the winners are:

1st prize:

Cometcatcher


2nd prize:

Volans


3rd prize:

Jules


Congratulations to the lucky winners! It must be a Mackay thing - Mick won the 1st birthday competition and cometcatcher wins the xmas competition!

Many thanks to the sponsors of the competition - Bintel, Australian Sky & Telescope, myAstroShop, SKY Lab: Astronomy Software and Tin Shed Observatory.

I'd appreciate it if the winners contacted me with their mailing address so I can organise to get the prizes mailed out to you. If I don't hear from you, i'll send you an email or PM. It's unlikely the prizes will arrive before xmas though, sorry.

Many thanks to the IceInSpace community for supporting the competition and I hope you all got something out of it.

Thanks to Michael from Bintel for drawing the names out of the IceInSpace-stickered litter receptacle At least we didn't need to transfer the losing entries anywhere

Here are 2 photos from the draw!

Cometcatcher was one of the seventeen who got all 30 right! It could have been that extra entry that won it for him!

Well done Kevin!

A good concept this time of year Mike, to be congratulated.
Many thanks to the sponsors, as without them we would be stuck.
A great forum as we all know.

Is that me? I went to bed with a headache, just woke up to congratulate the winners and find I'm one? Oh my didn't expect that at all.

If I really did win and I'm not still asleep, then thank you very much Mike and Bintel and all those involved in the competition.

Nah can't be. I must be still asleep.

And congratulations Volans and Jules!

Congratulations to Cometcatcher, Volans, and Jules. Who would have thought Mackay was IIS Winner Central? (maybe we should have known...)

Well done, Mike. This was a great competition. Looking forward to being associated with it again next year.

Ah congratulations to the winners! Thanks to Ice and to the sponsors for making the competition possible, was good fun.

Thats competitions two within a few months; be careful Mike or we might start expecting them more often. Bring on the next one (when the sponsors recover from the current one..).

Thanks again.
