End Of Year Awards | Page 76 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

A few points of note. 

Voting closes at the end of the year, but I have no idea how it works around the world and I’m not sitting looking at a clock to do it automatically.; the results will follow within the following day or three (hopefully). After that the discussion of the awards going forward will be reopened as I think everyone agrees they need revamped. Everything previously written and the vote will be taken into consideration, we are not going to ignore what was, but opinions change and new people are around. We will also take into considering if categories are overlooked in the voting as if no one is voting then is there much point of having it.  The aim is to have a clear agreed number of categories next year which are decided well in advance so they are ready to be upped at the beginning of December 2022 regardless of who runs the award. That at least is the plan.

As for this year, as said by @The Hole Got Fixed, due to time constraints there quite simply isn’t enough time now to work thru the changes which were agreed without having too short a notice period for voting. Already there is only a little over two weeks before voting closes and we would like to get it going before there is too little time for folk submit their entries. For that reason, and a few more, it was felt it would be better to go with last year’s and then have the forum discussion as mentioned above.

To all who vote, we do appreciate it as we know you spend time doing so. I had thoughts of no-one bothering so it is also a relief to see PM’s come thru. Going down the more contrived route, I would encourage people to take the time to vote as it’s a good way of getting some general forum togetherness and spirit but also the results will have some impact on near year’s awards. Please remember, you can vote for in as few or an many categories as you like, there is no requirement to cover all of them and it doesn’t matter if you have been on the forum continually since Joe created the site, you’ve taken breaks every Now And Then or if you have been here 10 minutes. It’s for all and by all. If you do have any questions please PM THGF and/or myself or post in here and we will try to assist.

One of the most memorable tracks from the John Lennon Anthology

  

Worth the admission price alone. Why it got buried in the vaults for 24 years will be discussed, analysed and debated by fans and scholars for centuries.

To show our appreciation to those who vote we will be sending some limited edition Beatles breathe to those who do.

To show our commitment to the environment there is no packaging and it wouldn’t be efficient to post it as that has a carbon footprint, therefore we’ll waft it to you thru the air. Please keep an eye out for a short different breeze in a week or so as that could be it. We can’t give a delivery date due to environmental factors outwith our control and we take no responsibility for you getting it. 

I’ll ask outright as I have no issues doing so. I haven’t paid attention to the votes over the years as I don’t remember who posts what and where.

Is there a reason for people not voting? If so we might as well get the discussions going to see if there is any life in these going forward as so far there have been three people who have submitted votes. 

Hopefully that doesn’t come across as annoyance as it’s not, I’m genuinely wondering if there is any interest in these taking place.

I have no idea what discord is or what all that section means. I presume the condensed version is many regulars are no longer as active on here, if at all. That’s true.

I think the discussion on next year’s awards will be kept open until towards the end of next year. Whatever happens it will need to be be finished with by the middle of November to get it all ready for December (if there is an awards). Nothing is decided but that is what my thinking is.
