Dunedin convention and 2007 BHS competition

It could be where I came from or simply my lack of understanding of
Scottish culture... but I had no idea what 'caber tossing' was until
this thread of e-mails! My humble opinion is that there is probably
room for a better design... but perhaps too late in the game to
change it?

Anyway. I wanted to write about the BHS competition! Vocal FX came
a very respectable 11th - amazing for their first time on the
international stage I reckon! What's more, it seems that between
their Auckland fundraiser show (25th June) and the competition,
they've managed some serious coaching and really tightened up their
moves. Charlotte looked amazing as part of the unit and the
showmanship definitley improved another notch from their final
apperance in NZ. I have such respect for these young boys - they're
such fine representatives of NZ barbershop!
