HEADLINES
Congratulation birthday boy Laurent Rosenfeld on becoming the first member with 1000+ score. He has maintained the number #1 position for the longest period. He is one of the few members associated with us since the beginning. Not many people know that he was our first Raku reviewer.
There is another member, Stuart Little, who jumped to #12 position with 368 score in such a short time.
Paulo Custodio also fast rising the leader board with 84 score in just 2 weeks.
I, once reached #10 position but have slipped one rank in the recent weeks. Hopefully in the new year 2021, I will try to join the race once again.
