Rufus Review of 2010

[GreenEyesToo]

I thought it might be useful to have somewhere to go to for links to the main Rufus events of last year, rather than trawling through all the boards.

Hope this is useful (click on the blue text to go to the thread/page in question):

As this is just intended for reference, this post is closed for discussion, and I'll pin it to the top of this board so it doesn't get lost! I'm sure I'll have missed things, so if something major is missing, or one of the links above doesn't work, please PM me.



I know I look calm, but, boy, I'm exhausted after all the activity this year!
