July 2021 Picture of the Month Poll - Result

[boatbuilder]

Welcome to the July 2021 'Picture of the Month' Poll

The pictures for this month's 'Picture of the Month' poll were nominated by the members who took them and there were NINE pictures submitted from those posted on the forum during June.

ALL members had up to a maximum of SIX ‘voting points’ which could be spread over a maximum of THREE of the nominated pictures in accordance with the usual guidelines.

The poll closed at 13:15 (BST) on Thursday 15th July and the picture with the most voting points 'Seedhead' by kerch is now displayed on the DEDICATED PAGE for the latest 'Picture of the Month', for the next month, and has a permanent place in our PICTURE OF THE MONTH GALLERY

The poll ended on Thursday and, despite the fact that there were only two voters, kerch's 'Seedhead' is this month's Picture of the Month and is displayed in the usual places. Congratulations.

I normally vote during the last couple of hours of the poll but got sidetracked late Thursday morning and the poll had closed by the time I realised at 2-pm.

Strangely enough, Dave wrote to me after the poll had ended and told me he HAD voted and was surprised his votes never showed up after it had closed. The only explanation he could think of was he failed to click on 'Submit'. I can't think of any other reason, either.

It's a shame other members who visit the forum during the time the polls are open don't bother to spare a couple of minutes to vote - after all, the fact that the poll is open is emblazoned across the top of every forum page. I sometimes wonder if it's worth continuing with it as it's not a five-minute job to create the poll and the work that's carried out at the end of it.

Well done kerch, congratulations.

Thank-you Dave & Mel ,I've often wondered why so few members bother to vote. It's not differcult.
