Hi Nick, On Jun 24, 2015, at 6:50 AM, Nicholas H.Tollervey nt...@ntoll.org wrote: Hi Folks, Many thanks..! I'm feeling rather chuffed and a little embarrassed. Chuffed I can understand, but the embarrassment is completely inappropriate. Oh, wait, you're English. I've clearly spent too long in America. I'm going to make a cup of tea in celebration. And perhaps something stronger in due course, I hope. Will raise a toast and dunk a biscuit to everyone who has and continues to help with Python in education in the UK. Toast AND biscuits? You all deserve an award! While that is true, I think the general feeling will be that your work with the BBC to ensure that Python is a programming choice for their new educational device plus your leadership role in the PyCon UK team plus makes you stand out from the crowd. The PSF initiated the Community Service Awards (not an easy development at the time, by the way) precisely to give public recognition to outstanding efforts on Python's behalf, so despite your embarrassment you truly are a worthy recipient. regards Steve -- Steve Holden st...@holdenweb.com / +1 571 484 6266 / +44 208 289 6308 / @holdenweb ___ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk

This is fabulous news, and very well deserved. As a teacher working in Computing education in the UK, I have found Nicholas’ support and encouragement to be exemplary. I really cannot think of a better recipient for this award. Alan O'Donohoe On 24 Jun 2015, at 14:50, Nicholas H.Tollervey nt...@ntoll.org wrote: Hi Folks, Many thanks..!
