Timeshare Sh*t of the Year - Award 2004

and the winner is ............    David Sterling.

What a close run contest  with supporters of Trotta and Sterling fighting it out until the very last moment. Just as I was preparing to call it a draw and send out two Award Certificates, a final push from the Lanzarote group just put Sterling in front – he must be justifiably proud of the sterling work that went into getting him chosen.

Commiserations. of course, to the runners up, especially those who graced this award for the first time, including  ETOO, OTE, Hyprafund and  HAB,   no doubt a redoubling of effort in 2005 could bring them their just rewards.
