Achievements of 2010

[Conrad]

Well its that time of year where people like to give out pointless awards, so I thought it would be a good idea to cast our minds back to heroic achievements on Pubs Galore.

To start the ball rolling there is Soup's services to keeping pubs open award during August.

And I have to give Andy Ven the outstanding services award for his work over on Facebook (he basically runs that now, me and Dave just look on in amazement) and general helpfulness to anyone.

Have some fun with your suggestions, for instance I am sure we all agree that the enigmatic Hondo should have the ninja award.

I think we should all have an award for not needing liver transplants again this year

Although I've got a Facebook account I usually try to avoid it, frankly because I don't understand half of it and I'm intimidated by my kids who seem to run their lives by it..

But decided to have a look at the PUG Facebook page and am in agreement. It is very good and if it's Andy who is behind all the feedback and pulling in users from this direction, then well done from me too..

Absolutely! Our very own 'Stig' on the boards.

A definite pat on the back award to the 20 or so hardy souls that made it to Birmingham for the Big Meet in November and a gold star to those who, unlike me, managed to get home in one piece (and yes, the foot is still sore 6 weeks later - what the hell did I do?)!

Look at it this way, it could have been much worse if your body hadn't been totally relaxed at the time!

Cheers. I'll accept my award like that bird who couldn't do her Oscar speech for blubbing. Although I do enjoy deleting trashy adverts and recruiting people for PG proper.

Aw, it was nothing. No really, I finished work that lunchtime and walked about 300 yards to the Wellington . A really good day and I look forward to a similar event next year.

I would like to echo my thanks too to Conrad and forum users for help given during the year. I love reading everything from facts to windups, and always hit the what's new button a few times a day now to check back to where I last read from so I can join in if I want to, or just have a laugh at the comments.

Happy Christmas. Don't think I will be on line for a while from tomorrow so hope the weather doesn't stop anyone from getting to their favourite watering hole, or the nearest if need be.

I think the real achievements will be seen when Dave publishes the end of year stats and we compare it to Dec 09. When these are published I think we will all be able to hold our heads up and give ourself a just reward. to all contributors.
