ANBC National 2012 - Thanks... it's all over for another year!

Hi All,

I've just updated the picture galleries for the winning birds for both days with a link which allows you to access high resolution versions of all the images - you can check it out here at the Picture Gallery.

Finally this brings to a close the results streaming for the National 2012! Thanks very much for all the great comments and interaction over the weekend - your thanks are very much appreciated.   I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the following group of people for their contributions to this site over the weekend - without their contributions none of this would have been possible as it is a real team effort:

• James Smith and the organising committee from the Budgerigar Council of Victoria

• Andrew & Maureen Bourne for once again providing access to all the results you see on this site

• Rod Turnbull for taking and providing all the awesome pictures you see on this site

• Carol Gough for turning the judges words into the text you see on each class results page

• Glenn McKay for cutting and uploading all the video files onto YouTube

A big thanks and congratulations must of course also go out to all the exhibitors as well!   It was a real pleasure working with the team bringing the 2012 Nationals direct to you - wherever you are out there!

To finish off here are some current stats on website traffic over the weekend (Friday 25/5 to Monday 28/5):

• 34,454 total page views

• 2,530 unique site visits

• 2,966 video views on YouTube

• 303 downloads of the Show Results Booklet

• Worldwide exposure with site visitors from Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Pakistan & Brazil

See you all again soon! :-)

Cheers,
Luke.

P.S. A special call-out to Maureen Bourne - thanks for all your help this weekend.  Wishing you a very speedy recovery and we'll see you next year!
