Commandment 1: Thou shalt select a kit (either from thy stash or from thy local dealer in kits) and send to thy allocated recipient.
Commandment 2: Thy gift shall cost about $25 of your earthling australian dollars (about 20US, probably about 18 pounds or so) but thou may send a gift of greater value if you so wish.
Commandment 3: Thou shalt not open your gift until Christmas.
Commandment 4: Thou shalt build thy kit by easter.
Commandment 5: Thou shalt attempt to challenge thy allocated recipient, but thou shalt not send unbuildable rubbish.
Commandment 6: Thou shalt continue tradition by not having rule six.

Since "Easter" is approaching, can we have some precision on when this GB actually ends please, i.e. an actual date and time?





















And whenever it is, can we have an extension please? *





* Just thought I'd get that in early.......

[puddingwrestler]

I hereby declare it to end on the first of april, so that anyone who misses the date feels like a fool.
I toyed with March 26 (last day of term one at schools in Victoria) but that'd just make me pissed off about the State government's somewhat insane habit of moving the school holidays with Easter so we don't get a mid-term day off... this has resulted in a six week/fourteen week semester before. One wonders if the education minister understands the concept of 'year eight boy'?

[Weaver]

Okay cheers PW: better get my skates on then.....

How about putting it on the Board title, i.e. the bit you see from the main menu?

[philp]

Great,
I still have no true idea on how I want to do mine.

Oh well, we shall see what happens.

[Mossie]

Pretty sure I won't be able to get mine done, I haven't started it yet & I'm probably going to have to give modelling a miss when the NHS finally gets around to my hand op...
