Hi all,

Due to some unpleasant, unexpected circumstances, I won't be at home on the day I was planning to end this contest and start the next one... nor the few days before and after.
Because of that, I'm going to have to slightly alter the dates for the end of this one and beginninb of the next one... hopefully this won't be too much of a problem considering that I've made all of my contests so far last a nice long months.

I'm not entirely sure at the moment, it all depends how things work out and when I'll have time to do it, but I'm expecting I'll try and make the contest changeover date be the 28th june - if I am unable to do so then, it'll have to be wen I come back, which may be at least a week into july.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi dan. Sorry to hear that, I hope all is ok.

The change is fine for me.

It's okay for me but then now I have a small amount of time to build my entry.

Hope you're all right. I'd just push it back a week and have a week less for the next one - we can pretty much guess the dates so people can still get started on the next one now if they want to.

Hi again all,

Again sorry for having to change things... I'd rather not think of it but it's not for the most pleasant reason I'm having to go away :(

It just makes more sense to me to make the switchover between contests happen 3 days before intended (I leave early on the 29th so better get this done the day before), rather than two weeks into july - which would result in one contest being 10 weeks long and the other only 6.

Again, sorry - I hope this doesn't mess anybody up... over a period of two months hopefully three days won't make too much of an impact.

Okay, so if I understand correctly, the contest ends tomorrow (6/28/11). Is that right?

Yes, that's right. I'll try and do it fairly late (french time that is) to give people as much time as possible before the deadline. Sorry to cut it short, but as I said - that made a lot more sense to me than switching to the next contest two weeks too late.

Good luck everybody for the judging tomorrow :)

Posted here but it's not showing up -don't think I used any MOCpages unfriendly words...

Anyway, yeh this kinda stops me posting as I was going to finish in 3 days. Don't worry, circumstances can't be helped, but I was hoping to challenge (probably unsuccessfully) Nick!

I was wondering if I could email you a photo as it's basically finished, and for it to be included that way, as I won't be able to get the MOCpage uploaded in a day?

I'm really sorry Dan for getting this date change late but I can't possibly get my latest car posted by then because I'm quite busy at the moment(It was going to be a struggle for me to get it posted before the old due date). I'm so sorry Dan for not being able to enter this contest but if possible, could you make it later after you get back. I know that it proberbly isn't possible but it would help me out alot and I wont be able to post my latest car until the weekend.
Again, I'm really sorry

Hi all,

No - *I'm* the one that's sorry. I think everybody should check out the new topic I've started; I've just thought up the best compromise and wondered why I hadn't thought of that before :)
