A few people have been asking me lately when the articles system would be reinstated - well, here it is, back in all it's glory and a lot more. Take a look! I have ported the existing articles across to the new system, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to bring the comments and replies across too... but given some of the criticism I experienced maybe that's not such a bad thing eh!!

Are we going to see a last minute rush of submissions following the regionals happening today? Doesn't anyone want to win a Nano?
Yes Pat - but I am happy to extend this date if we can expect more entries. We haven't had enough yet to warrant the prize... ... so come on folks... get writing...!!
Can we enter more than one? I have an idea for another article. Nothing to do with burger vans this time though.
No worries... we have!! and as there now seems to be a little more interest in this contest, we'll keep it open for entries for a few more weeks. At least it seems that there may now be enough entrants for me to provide the prize so someone is gonna get a nice new iPOD Nano from tMP. Come on... get your fun articles submitted and have a go. You never know what you'll come up with.
So if the deadline has been extended can I add an article about this weekends North American Brass Band Championships instead of the areas?
