tdierikx Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Of all the winners, I've had the distinct pleasure of actually meeting Anna (Powerlegs) and Ruth (Ruthless), and had many phone/email convos with Steph (SharPeiRescue) - and I'm absolutely thrilled that they all won their awards. All of them are truly inspirational people.These ladies are all the kind of people that can make others better people just by knowing them. Congratulations ladies!!! T. You were there??? I wiashed I had have known, I would have come up to say hi. Congrats to all the winners, and a special congrats to Steph from Shar Pei Rescue. Well deserved Steph and I wish you had been there to celebrate with us. Marg, as always, was a very gracious winner. Marg rocks. No - I was at home with my furkids Anne... hanging on this thread for the updates... *grin* Maybe at the next do? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It was a great evening A huge congratulations to Steve, Anne and the others on the organisation and execution of the event. And it was an honour and pleasure to sit on Troy's table and finally meet the great man He is so laid back and unassuming. After Saturday night I hope he realises just how important his website is to dog owners. It was fantastic to be there to see Kate win her award :D You young lady. It was also great to put some faces to DOL names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Dianne Gunn-Scarcella award Troy Cumner Tony and I would like to extend our personal congratulations to Troy as this years recipient for the Dianne Gunn-Scarcella award. It was two years on Sunday that she departed this world and clearly she is still missed. We can not think of a better person to receive the award this year and Troy is now in great company with last years wonderful winner Julie (Steve) and the 2008 winner Bob (Kojak) We hope to attend next years event and inspite of Tony's dislike to speak in public (which is odd as this man can talk under water most times!) he will be able to present his late wifes award to next years lucky recipient. Congratulations to all the winners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldchow Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yes Angelsun, Dianne was a very special lady and whoever is nominated for the Dianne Memorial Award has to be somebody very special in their own right. We thought Troy fitted the bill very well with his ongoing support for purebred dogs through his website which provides such a valuable educational and social outlet for all doggie people. Together with the support & sponsorship of the MDBA who wouldn't be in the strong position it is in now without him we thought he fitted the criteria very well.

Nancyk Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. We have always been proud to be members of the MDBA and it was a real pleasure to attend the awards dinner. Meeting and seeing some of the very wonderful people we have in the dog world is just so uplifting. The MDBA is to be congratulated on the innovative things they are doing. Looking forward to Melbourne next year and planning to make a few nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Looking forward to Melbourne next year and planning to make a few nominations.

t-time Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 AWESOME night guys! MDBA should be so proud of its own achievements - a really fantastic event ! I was a bit "lost" LOL and I wish everyone had their user names on so I could figure out who was who - but I did meet a few FAB people (and DOLers) and had a yummy dinner. Mains were excellent by the way.......... 2 of the BIGGEST CONGRATS need to go to Troy - such a well-deserved award, Troy - as in my dodgy speech LOL - you changed my life And to a gorgeous lil girl who wrote a very special article and introduced the plight of rescue dogs to hundreds of people -- well done CHLOE! Thanks MDBA - next year is going to be HUGE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm just starting to realise how many DOLers I didn't meet It was lovely to meet you Troy (I was very impressed by your bold fashion choices - pyjamas AND tin-foil hat!)
