I am pleased to say that this was approved, and the CTC have duly presented a Certificate of Commendation. I have today received the framed Certificate and accompanying Citation, both of which I will be shipping to Sheldon soonest. It seems appropriate, though, to announce this via Usenet, and to post below a scanned image of the Certificate - as a form of virtual presentation. The original is, I hasten to add, nicely framed with gilt and calligraphy - any deficiency in the image is due to my ineptitude with the scanner and the fact that I neglected to scan the certificate before it was framed. http://chapmancentral.demon.co.uk/sheldon-cert.jpeg I haven't scanned the Citation as it's in a sealed envelope (having written the thing you would think I'd have a copy, but no...) - no matter, though. We all know what Sheldon does. And nobody does it better. Sheldon, if it's not too presumptuous, on behalf of the many British cyclists to whom you have offered your wisdom over the years - thank you. Guy On behalf of (and with sincere apologies to any not mentioned): Toby Barrett, Colin Blackburn, Guy Chapman, David Damerell, Chris Gerhard, Peter Grange, Mark Harris, Geraint Jones, Jim Price, Tony Raven, Ian Smith, Helen Deborah Vecht, Tony Woods. No doubt about it, Sheldon's the man. Way to go, Sheldon. Congrads. |

Goodness me!
I started this thread 4 years ago and it's resurfaced! You have to be careful of what you say in case it's resurrected and used as evidence against you. I wonder if anyone wants to dig up those helmet arguments I used to have with Tom Kunich? Anyway, good on you Sheldon, it's people like you that keep the world turning in the right direction. Best regards Marty Wallace |
