Very many thanks to everybody for all the kind and generous words (including those that sent me PM’s). I feel incredibly honoured to have received this award, particularly looking at the list of illustrious past winners, although I first had to set aside my feeling of surprise. It’s great to be part of such a strong team at UKB and all credit to Pete Eeles for his dedicated stewardship and the work done in continually moving the website forward. My only regret is that he will not accept any awards for this. I am also indebted to all the active members of UKB for their support and ultimately making my job easier.
Congratulations also to the team at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History for receiving their award and getting the recognition they deserve.
Thanks again
Vince
