Dear All,
It is a privilege and an honour to be the first recipient of the Brian Guilmant Award. I got to know Brian very well when I assisted him (along with many others) at the 009 Society 40th Convention at Kegworth.
I am not sure if I also get a certificate or something as well as the prize money, but if I do, it will be proudly displayed with my layout "Bridges".
Incidentally, I have not yet sold it as I have two exhibitions booked hopefully later this year at Bala and Folkestone so I hope to see you there!
Many thanks to those who voted for me and commiserations to the runners up.

Thank you, Hugh, for your message and comments about Brian. It was a relief to see it as we had no idea whether you often visited the forum and might possibly have been totally unaware of proceedings! As for a certificate, we hadn't thought about that but will see what we can come up with.

The Sales Team.

Congratulations Hugh - and to all who were shortlisted. I think a certificate or similar is a good idea.

Also I like the idea behind the award. As well as remembering Brian, it is a very good reason to look back at the articles published over the year.

Congratulations to Hugh for winning the first Brian Guilmant Memorial Award.

Commiserations to Paul, Colin, Martin and Phillip, but congratulations to them for being nominated.
All of the nominated articles were an interesting read.
