Forces-of-Nature Awards 2004
justal - 2-1-2005 at 17:18

Right, its that time again when we need to announce the winners of the 2004 awards. So I need your nominations. If you think someone deserves a (virtual) award, nominate them here and I'll announce the winners at the end of the month.

To give you an idea, last year there were awards for worst wipeout, walk of shame award, a fashion victim award, as well as awards for best diary entry and best forum post. As long as the award relates to a FON member and something they did in 2004, anything goes.

As far as the awards for the diaries go, there should be some prizes to give out so I'll get in touch with the shops/schools that have said they'll donate prizes this week and then annouce the winners at the end of the month as well.

Injuries

What a bad day yesterday
Went for a sail at Weston - first chance to sail in ages, anyway, as i rigged up a gust took my sail, I jumped out of the back of the van to catch it and tore my achilles tendon OUCH!!.

The quack tells me that it will take months to get back on the board.

Has anyone had any experience of this injury and recovery times etc?
