Sorry did not see your post, a BH mat is on the way to you please pm your address as soon as possible so I don't forget! Would be happy for you to post comments on how good the mat is when you get it thanks.Whoa!
I'm truly honored as didn't see this coming when posted the pics also to this thread based on Marcos advice. Thank you very much for the kind words (and naturally also to the jury).
For what comes to the prize I'd really like to try out the Blue Horizon Record Mat against my current Loricraft one in my 401 and then transfer one or the other to my second TT. I also understand the postage issues, so I'm willing to handle my share of the burden

Wow...this is unexpected...was away on holidays over the weekend with no access to the internet, and came back to this great news. :-) Thanks for the honour. And Congrats to all winners and especially to Mika...well deserving winner with that fantastic pic!Hi Guys,
Fresh from a session listening to some top vinyl with Nick and Marco today I have to finish the compo as time is marching on. I have to say the standard of vinyl spinners is stunning and the photography is quite good too..
The winning photo is above, simple but effective and black and white to boot, pity the winner is gonna cost me in spondooliks for postage abroad
On that very subject the 2nd prize is ERNEST, oh! and guess where he lives!
The rest were hard to choose but it's only a bit of fun so not too serious if you did not win I hope, there is always the £166 million euro lottery to go for next week!
3rd Gromit
4th Big Vern
5th KCC123
6th Preston Chip Fryer
7th The Grand Wazoo
8th Jac Hawk

As there were 9 prizes I think it is best to allow the winner to choose what he wants and post his decision in this thread then NO.2 can pick and so on, that way I don't award someone a prize they don't want or need. Please pm your address as well.

1. Blue Horizon Record Mat
2. 20 LP Inner Sleeves
3. Bottle of Record Cleaning Fluid
