Just wondering if this would be a good idea - mods please close /delete the thread if you think not.
I was thinking of some of the people who have made a real difference to my first year with BCUK and thought it might be quite fun to run a poll so that we could vote for our BCUK Local Hero.
What do people think?
I wonder if we could give voters the opportunity to chip in a bit of cash to a fund at the BCUK shop, so that the winner could have a prize of their choice from the shop. I don't think there should be an obligation to do this, but if you wanted to then I think it would be nice to be able to do so.
If we get the go ahead from Tony, I'll turn this thread into a poll so that we can start voting. I don't know if there is a limit to the number of choices that you can have on a poll, so we may have to limit the number of 'candidates'.
I have had help from a huge number of people here, and if you are not on my list below, it doesn't mean anything. It's just that these are the names that have stood out in my (failing) memory, either for helping me or for standing out from the crowd. Names are listed alphabetically.

- British Red - always there in the background with meaningful thoughts - and a collection of wonderful photographs.
- Eric Methven - for his generosity, skills, wisdom and humour.
- Jodie - for her unfailing cheer, modesty and information about books, events and TV programs.
- Matt Weir - because he seems a really 'decent fellow', always there to offer an encouraging comment.
- Toddy - because she knows everything and is so willing to share her knowledge. The Gandalf or Dumbledore of bushcraft.
- Tony - you don't hear very much from him, but I bet he is doing an awful lot of work behind the scenes.
- Wayland - because his lifestyle seems so fascinating.
- Xylaria - the Queen of Fungi.
