The 2011 Top 30 Positive Posters Exhibition was held last night in Melbourne, where TUSK's own Andrew Suggit's poster was on display. His 'East Africa Appeal' poster was amongst only 30 chosen, across the world, to be hanging at £1000 Bend, Melbourne. We are very proud of Andrew's achievement and the powerful statement made by his poster.

TUSK's own lead developer Phil Rasmussen has recently begun dedicating his spare time to the Australian Armwrestling Federation (AAF). Not long after showing an interest in Arm Wrestling, Phil took it upon himself to create a ground swell for the sport which has in the past, lacked any form of public noteriety. His first step was to create an online arena for felllow Arm Wrestlers to connect, share and stay up to date with the most recent news and events. From here he became the secretary of the AAF and the primary voice behind the sport. Also amongst Phil's efforts was the organisation and media coverage of the Australian Armwrestling Championships, which took place yesterday the 1st November in Doncaster, Melbourne. 

Phil himself placed 2nd in the left hand 95kg division and 4th in the respective right hand division. The team at TUSK have watched as Phils biceps and the recognition of Arm Wrestling has grown and we would like to congratulate him on his 'massive' achievements.
