May I through these columns Thank all the people who sent me congratulations and good wishes on my receiving the BBE Lifetime Achievement Award 2019 . during the BBE Conference in Manchester on 28th Sept. I have to say it was a very , big surprise , and a really weird feeling.
I can best describe it as being in a solo contest, ...where you play , and at the end, either win a prize or not .. receiving this award was like going to a solo contest, NOT playing and then being awarded a prize ! ...obviously an error..as it really should have been given to someone who played !!
Left me feeling a bit like a cheat , taking home someone else's trophy. Hard to get my head round.
My conscience is just starting to ease 3 days later.
Thank you BBE and all those who sent me their good wishes. Gordon Higginbottom
