Steve, I think on this occasion it is quite acceptable for you to blow
your own trumpet and explain to all why you were an invited guest of
the Society at the Conference dinner ... !


Stephen, there are so many members of this newsgroup far more worthy
than I to receive an award from the RMetS *- indeed, many that have
done so in the past, including Rodney's award last year.

The citation for the Michael Hunt 2008 award, shared this year with
Professor Dudley Shallcross of Bristol University, mentioned the 30
plus years of service to the weather community and the Met Office, and
raising the understanding of meteorology and climatology amongst the
general public and the field of education, or something like that at
least. I still don't know who nominated me to be honest.

I accepted the award on behalf of Bablake School, and the countless
pupils who have worked with me, and put up with mo over the past 32
years!

Hear hear. Well done, and modest too! Anyone that can run a school
weather station - nay, weather service - to the standards set by you,
for over 30 years, fully deserves the award. Congratulations!
