Silver Spade award for John Colton

I am very proud to have been awarded a B4RN silver spade by Chris Condor at the FIA Summer Seminar this week. This post seems a bit self-indulgent, but the award was a complete surprise and so being shy I was a little embarrassed and probably didn’t appear as pleased as I was at the time.
I also feel unworthy as I’ve helped in small ways from time to time and others have put so much more time in.
I also got the B4RN MBE you’ll see below. A special award too with a very amusing set of rules to live by. If I seem to be behaving differently I may just be following the rules of the B4RN MBE club…
