Steve J I am not going to the conference but at scientific conference dinners there is generally no dress code (certainly not black tie). For this one I doubt very much if it will be very different. I tend to put on a jacket, shirt(no tie) and not wear jeans or trainers. The only people who may be dressed up are the RMS officers and any awardees if this is the case. I do note when going to medical conferences people are smarter than at meteorological ones I nearly always travel with a tie but rarely wear it - a just in case .... please remove the zzz before replying |

Steve J I am going, and giving a talk :~( in the Water Vapour workshop. And I have a poster with the title "An Error on the OLR Models?" I can't answer your question about dress code because I was wondering the same thing myself. Cheers, Alastair. |

He received the Michael Hunt award, and so, unlike me, was wearing a suit as recommended by Andy. http://www.rmets.org/activities/awards/prizes/index.php Congratulations again Steve. Also congrats to Will Hand. His paper, Hand et al 2004, was praised by one of the main speakers. I only got half way through my mini talk at a workshop, before my 12 mins. was up. I got some criticism of my poster. At least it was not ignored :-) BADC is organising for us to be able to put out posters on the web so I will lpost the web page here when that is done. Cheers, Alastair. |

Yes Alatair, but it was very hot in that suit, but nevertheless, a pleasure to meet you! It was a very enjoyable evening, made much more so by meeting up with several fellow weather enthusiasts; noteworthy amongst these we Alistair of course, though we will never agree on climate change! Julian Mayes, erstwhile contributor on uksci.weather and excellent editor of "Weather" - charming man and an honour for my wife and I to sit next to him:-) He duly won an editors' award. Ernie Pepperdine - once senior met man at Watnall, now chair of the East Midlands branch of the society. A wonderful man with so many stories and still fit and spritely at 83. Professor Slingo of Reading University - daughter of the Headmaster of our sister school, King Henry VIII, until 1974. Now president of tthe R Met Soc - her brothers came to Bablake. Amanda Maycock - ex Bablake pupil now doing a PhD in meteorology at Reading. I must admit to feling very humble amongst so many top academics, meteorologists and climatologists - even the top man from the IPCC was there!

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!

Steve Jackson Bablake Weather Station Coventry UKwww.bablakeweather.co.uk 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.
