Voting as concluded for the poll, we now move onto the winners.

I would like to thank each member who has logged in, contributed and of course voiced their opinion on the site. It's good to see more joining in, along with acknowledging the people who make PON the community it is.

This month is the first time we have opened up voting for multiple categories, it's something myself and @cheeky~k8 felt was only right - as team members do a lot (often not included) and newpies are also overlooked at times. This is only natural, yet it's time to put it right.

NewPie of the Month - @Elite_pie

With 36.36% percent of the votes - Well done to Elite for being named the first NewPie of the Month. However tough the running was, I do feel Elite is a good choice personally.

Thanks  to @Piethagoram, @ohstanleyaborah and @tarquinbeech your contributions have been top notch - I also hope you aim high for February.

Team Member of the Month - @Joe Jones

This is the one I'm personally unsure about as I have tried to keep him on his toes! Haha!! However, JJ has been long due some acknowledgement - He's helped me a lot and the site is better with his hard work. I'm often told off for thanking him, so I am pleased the folks of PON have took to voting for him this time.

JJ received 40.91% percent of the votes.

Also, once again thank you to the members who help by forming the team here.

Now, it's the main one.....

*Drum Roll*

Member of the Month - Riverleeno (sorry I can't tag you as I write this)

Richly deserved - top contributions and the voice of reason. Our Riverleeno has been a brilliant signing and 45.45% confirms that. Well done buddy!

--

Now let's continue to go from strength to strength - onwards & upwards and just remember, things may not be going to plan on the field. We are first and foremost a community, our passion and loyalty speaks volumes - so try not to be down about things.

Also, please take time to congratulate the members who have won.

You Pies!

Well done all......would any of you like to buy a copy of my "acceptance speech"?.................or shall I keep it on wordpad for next month?

@tarquinbeech Ha! Save it for next month, you never know

Well done to all three, congratulations and all that stuff.

Well done to all three, very well deserved

well done @Elite_pie, @Joe Jones and @Riverleeno. three members who quite rightly deserve praise

Congratulations to all three contributors and all of the members named for the nominations.

I am sure the people who deserved it most won. COYP

Well done to all the members for winning. The individual awards seem a great idea too.

Congrats to @Elite_pie, @Piethagoram, @ohstanleyaborah, @tarquinbeech and @Joe Jones.

Wow thanks everyone! I'm not the kind of guy that likes a fuss, I just like to crack on with things, keep them ticking over and having people read, share, like and comment on the articles, but it means a lot for people to formally acknowledge this so yeah, really really appreciate it and thanks again!

And congrats to @elite_pie, @piethagoram, @ohsanleyaborah, @tarquinbeech and @riverleeno too! cracking month for you guys, keep up the good work! and of course everyone on the forum deserves a massive pat on the back for your continued great work making this forum what it is!

Poor @Piethagoram, nobody has congratulated him for his contributions until now.

Well done to the three winners.

This was a nice surprise when I signed in, thanks everyone! Well done @Joe Jones well done @Elite_pieand all the other nominees. Posting on here really adds to supporting Notts.You'll be pleased to know I've not got an acceptance speech, just

COME ON YOU PIES!

Wow, I think this is the first thing I've won since my 1984 Haven Reighton Sands table tennis title!  To be honest Tarquin, ohstanleyaborah and piethagoram would all have been worthy winners, and I've enjoyed reading their contributions.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote whoever you voted for, and well done to all others nominated.  The main person to thank in my acceptance speech is ironically the lunatic mod who banned me on a certain other forum, and made me look over here.  I'd looked a few times before, but found the layout a bit confusing and I wasn't sure where to find what, but I'm glad I stuck at it and it seems second nature now.  Even though the issues on the other forum are now sorted, I really like the calmer and more rational approach on here so I hope to remain a regular poster.  Keep up the good work everyone, hopefully this place will go from strength to strength.

Acceptance speech....7 out of 10

the fact that you bribed the judges....9 out of 10

me winning "Newbie of the Month" next time....10 out of 10........I know where the judges live!!......plus their mates!!!

ps that pink ribbon you were awarded looks a bit "girlie"......look at the size of the banana I got....Top Quality fruit and veg.......nananahnahnah

You know what they say about men who brag about the size of their banana.....

I will wear my pink ribbon with pride.  Underneath my coat of course.

Real men wear pink elite don't worry

Congratulations to you all! Everyone involved deserves a pat on the back, the board has certainly been entertaining over the last month.

Congratulations @Elite_pie, @Joe Jones and @Riverleeno .This  gets more difficult each month so well done to all members.Very sad to see the departure of our 2 long standing members. Thanks for your help  and good luck @tonyhateley and @hissingdwarf

I echo @GrannyPie's sentiments.Well done everyone,you newbies have big boots to fill.

I know I drift in and out but well done everyone!

Well done to all.

I'm new on here and didn't vote but I'll remedy that next month ????

I'm pleased I signed up to this forum as it seems pretty balanced with some good points and discussion.

It's a shame the game was off today but clearly the pitch was unplayable , however , it gives the manager another week with the players and I'm feeling positive about next Saturday at Bootham Crescent ????
