NO. It is the obligation of the awards committee to verify any nomination and advise the proposed recipient.

I was at the awards night. Several people were there to accept awards on behalf of others - including the family of a deceased recipient. So there was definitely contact going well before the awards night. Now why Harry only learnt about his late, I have no idea. As for the details of the specific award and who it was made to - as someone else has said - it is by nomination. So, someone in the gliding community felt it was worthwhile acknowledging Harry's work, but for whatever reason didn't include Nigel. If the nomination was just Harry and the awards committee decided on their own to just add in another co-recipient, the howls would be even louder! They're in a no-win situation either way. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/ Java 3D Graphics Information http://www.j3d.org/ LinkedIn http://au.linkedin.com/in/justincouch/ G+ WetMorgoth ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Look through the lens, and the light breaks down into many lights.
