Title: A4A 2012 Summer and Autumn Show.
Post by: Jayb on September 09, 2012, 12:07:51
Just for a bit of fun lets have a go at restarting A4A’s picture show. Sorry it is a bit late to be posting this but I’m hoping folks are still interested in posting pictures they have taken this season.  There should be something of interest for everyone, so get those pictures in.  It’s been a difficult growing season for many crops but let’s see the successes  ;D

I’ll list the categories today, please enter (post) your pictures in the relevant thread. Closing date for entries is October 31st 2012, that should give plenty of time for some super pictures. Then voting can begin!

What a brilliant idea... as you say many of us could do with a bit of cheer after this most unusual year!

Voting open and all polls should be in place now.

Lots of fantastic pictures, a big thank you to everyone who posted. Some difficult decisions ahead!

Just a note, Although davyw1 posted super pictures in the different threads, he asked not to be included in the poll. Some great pictures I think, thanks for showing us them.

Each of the A4A show threads eg Cutest Pets, now has a poll attached and as Pumpkinlover says is at the top of each page. I've left everything in the origin posts as I don't have the copies of the pictures, I can't move them.

Happy voting [url=http:

Sorry for the confusion,  davyw1 asked at the beginning not to be included in the vote although he kindly shared his pictures with us.
