This has yet again been a decision based on very marginal factors - all stages and departments performed really well and everyone should be more than pleased with the jobs they did, and the way they were carried out. Cromer, Charleston +, Mawsons Row, Kanmantoo, and Mount Gawler all deserve a special mention, as do Alan Hook and Brian Carter for their great efforts with the equipment, and our medical team - excellent work indeed.
