Many congratulations Colin and Thelma.  Thoroughly deserved, and to be mentioned alongside names like Wally Boag is an honour in itself.

Yes I wonder how many know who Wally Boag Is? I'm sure I put a thread up with a link to some clips on youtube, off to hit the search button, be right back.

That's wonderful and very well deserved. Congratulations Thelma and Colin!!

Thanks - a nice surprise!

Congratulations to you both! You've earned it.

Many congratulations to Thelma and Colin. Thank you for being so fab, and also for being so inspirational in showing us what can be created out of a simple rubber balloon when you have your imagination and flair.

Your wins are well deserved, and thank you so much for sharing what you do with us all here.
