Heck, even to be nominated was a massive achievement but winning was an immense and pleasurable shock. I've learned over the years simply the act of creating something, is a success. Creativity in all forms allows you to learn something just from the act of trying, regardless of any perceived success, failure or wider recognition. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to RGG since we took over in January 2018 - that includes you, you lovely lovely reader you! Fat BlokeWith No Tattoos www.ryansgigguide.com rgg Jun 2019 5
