August 18 WOTM final
Well it was a photo finish of sorts, with Chip romping in on 33 points, hounded by relative newbie Myke on 32. Thanks to the Wren Rule, that no contributor can win the WOTM competition two month on the bounce it means that Myke is our new WOTM - congrats to Myke, a terrific start.
Titus, although a fair way behind in third place, has had one of his strongest months yet - well done Titus. Congrats to everyone else who has contributed and placed.
The full list of FP, NiB and LA links is reproduced below and the full list of tickers will be listed on the thread in the chat room.
