4/20 2010 Important Volcano Update!

Many.....including myself have not been able to make it to Amsterdam this year for the ICM 4/20 Growers and Breeders Cup...

Most of us have had our travel plans dashed because of this ash spewing Volcano in Iceland that has grounded most all airplanes and caused most all airports in Europe to grind to a halt....and even those traveling from airports outside of Europe have been turned away from airports due to their flights being canceled ......

This has led to us having to decide what to do, so that we can have a fairly and accurately judged competition .... because there most probably will not be enough independant judges there in the Dam to judge the competition as we have done in the past.....

Now we have found what might be a good solution to this by offering judges packs to growers that have entered to judge the breeders and the breeders that have entered to judge the growers......so to make sure that they are not actually judging their own 'erb or hash......and then we can have a fairly judged competition....

It's a real bummer for me not to be able to make it this year as it probably is for all the others that have been turned back at the airports......but for those that have managed to get there I hope you all have a great time and enjoy yourselves immensely .....

always a difficult situation for growers and breeders to be filmed/photographed.......it could well compromise their security....so it's best not to do that.....

Well said Gypsy and a fine idea in finding a solution to the Judging challenge!

Wow! I've looked at a few of the ash patterns via satalite. The power of the earth is awesome.

I hope everyone is able to make it to Amsterdam for the cup.

couldn't they just send 'samples' to us to try and see which ones win the cup? :jump:

Hi Core,

I've just come back home to my sleepy little town as I have to do a bit of gardening mate... the girls don't let me take much time off..lol

I'll be heading back up to A'dam either this morning around 10-11am or at about 6pm depending on a bunch of stuff that I have to do/wait to hear about :)


I'll be sure to check back here before I leave, so I'll giev you a shout and find out if you're still at GH or moved on etc :)


either way, have a great day mate, it's beautiful out there :)

Man I was really wondering how stuff was going for you with all the air travel problems. Couldn't have happened a worse time. I hope that everyone has a good time and hopefully next year there will be no ash clouds closing down the airways.
Peace.
Gkhan.
