Our annual awards were presented at the Christmas Lunch at The Littlebury Hotel, at Bicester on 2rd December 2007 by our guest speaker Jennifer Murray. Jennifer has flown around the world solo in an R44 helicopter, becoming the first woman to do so. Earlier this year she (and fellow pilot Colin Bodill) achieved another first by flying a helicopter round the world via both poles. www.polarfirst.com

For more information about our awards or if you know of someone who you would like to nominate for one of our awards, then email Rita Boniface. Nominations for 2008 should reach us by end of October.
