I nominate argylgran for her help with my Scots research and useful tips



To All

a blank certificate so you can fill in your own names and acheivemennt

It is a Swedish tradition to award certificates

At Christmas they write poems to celebrate family members so is anyone wants to write a poem about Chris or Sylv or anyone else

Tolerance and awareness of other cultures and non English speakers would be a good category

PricklyHolly aka Prickles, for being an all round good egg.

She's like a dog trying to bury a bone in lino when it comes to weedling out an elusive rellie and is always kind and welcoming to newbies.

She's a reet good larf in her spare time too.

:-D

Cynthia, (for helpfulness and much else) who over the years must have sent 1000s of gentle messages to 'lost' new members letting them know how to return to their threads :-)
