Today marks a special milestone in the history of Cydoni-Gibberia - I have now spent exactly HALF OF MY LIFE as a member of this wonderful contest and community. 179 entries later and still going as strong as ever!

Thank you for all of the laughs, the joy, the music and the friendship over the years. I can say it's been an honour and pleasure to have played alongside and met so many of you over the years. Here's to many more years of the red, purple and yellow! ​
