Thanks for sharing the winners post Christoph, it was lovely to meet you <3
Many congratulations to you all.
Many congratulations to all!
Congratulations to all the winners. A job well done ?
I am so happy I won, thanks for everyone who voted for me. 😀
Congrats to all the nominees, for being included in the lists. And to the Bash Committee for organizing these awards and the event. I bet the Bash was great!. All my best wishes. Aquileana 🙂
Thank you everyone, especially Sacha and the hard working committee.
Congratulations all around!
To the winners, congratulations. To all the attendees – I am still beyond envious (I’ve looked into plane fare already for next year, but unfortunately the carriers don’t sell tickets a year out – further proof that there is a conspiracy against my attending). To Sacha – 1) Get some sleep 2) finish that novel 3) as tempting as it may be, please don’t stab anyone with those new heels.
ARGHHHHHHH can’t believe you’ve looked into flights this excites me ALOT. However, I do insist you hang around for more than the bash day, because I run around like a lunatic making it happen and never get to speak to anyone!
lol, I do actually need both 1 and 2!! I can’t promise 3 though! :p
If I make a trip all the way to the UK I am staying a week minimum, so in this I would be happy to oblige. Re #3, all I am asking is you ‘try.’
Okay good, because I would not be ok with you coming all that way and me not getting a proper chat in!
Congratulations to all, winners and nominees.
Thanks to all who worked on this.
Congratulations to all the winners and runner-ups!!!
Such a wonderful event loved being there. Well done to all the organisers you did an awesome job. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of this year’s bash.
Thank you so much to all who voted for me. I’m completely thrilled to have won best review. Congratulations to all the othe nominees and winners too. And thanks to Sacha and the team for all the hard work that goes into organising this event. I’ve tried to get to it twice so fingers crossed for third time lucky next year to see you all there x
Congrats to all the winners and runner-ups! Wish I could have been there. 🙂
Very well done, every one ….it sounds like a great time was had by all 🙂
Yah, on my second place finish. I didn’t think I had that many family members.
And, a big woot, woot to you guys for putting it all together.
Congrats to all! 🙂
And to you for coming 3rd ?
Thank you Sacha. I’m honoured. Looking forward to the reports! <3 xo
