A quick update on the Whiffies 2026 awards procedure

[TomZ]

A quick update on the Whiffies 2026 awards procedure.

I will shortly start grouping the nominations in the various categories.

This year there are 149 builds nominated, built by 46 different members, which is slightly less than last year.

As is the tradition, the aim is to announce the winners roughly at the same time those "other" awards are announced, so that would be in the weekend of 15th of March 2026. 
I will put the polls up in the weekend of February 21th and they will run for 10 days.

The awards ceremony will be on Saturday the 14th of March 2026. The exact timing will follow.

Some of us haven't even found what happened to our socks at last year's event.

[Charlie_c67]

Some of us now have a disturbing Red Hot Chilli Peppers like image in our heads without the lack of context... 

[Rick Lowe]

Some of us can't even recall the context... and that's without having even attended the awards... we think..

Will there be a banquet and celebratory party after the awards ceremony?

Will there be a banquet and celebratory party after the awards ceremony?

After last years "celebrations" after the award show, all venues we have approached have so far refused to host an after party.
We are still looking for a suitable venue and hope to find one before the show.
If not, there will be an after party in the parking lot but then everyone will have bring their own beer......

That was Phill's fault.  I told him wrestling a yeti INSIDE the pub was a bad idea but would he listen?

Didn't we warn him not to use custard?

Has the yeti been discharged from veterinary care yet?

Has the yeti been discharged from veterinary care yet?

I am happy to say that the Yeti made a full recovery. However he begged me to save him from a second appearance at the whiffie ceremony.
So I am sorry but there will not be a Yeti at this years festivities.
