Nicholas RODWELL
Australia

We start with someone who is one of life's natural leaders. He always tries to make the best out of every situation, and is ready to help when needed, with a smile on his face. He has added an extra, cosmopolitan dimension to the camp. He is sociable, cheerful and extrovert, a pleasure to be around. He is also multi-talented, whether at sports or as a junior at bridge or as a business professional; his employer has spotted this, and allowed him an extensive holiday - this only three weeks after joining them!

Our second candidate has been as immediately visible as anyone at the camp if not just through her organizing skill, through her multi-coloured outfits.This candidate embodies the spirit of Junior Camp bridge; ever cheerful, employing initiative - particularly at organizing side events. Enthusiasm is this person's middle name - it is visible in every thing she does. She gets on well with the other camp participants, and her personality and good nature shine through; she wants to have fun and for everyone else to enjoy themselves too.

Our third candidate has been a regular at camps for the best part of a decade. He has been recommended because he is always friendly and cheerful, to everyone, regardless of whether they are a good bridge player or not.
His forte on this occasion has certainly ensured that everyone has had a good time. He put an enormous amount of time and effort (not to mention lost sleep!) in organizing additional tournaments for the bridge addicts, and the amazing attendance at these sessions was an indication of his success at this task. As one of his fans said, these games are an informal way for the members of camp to get to know one another, and stimulate the goals of the camp. So his success in this area makes him the perfect candidate for an award.

And finally… the number of people who voted for our fourth nominee makes it clear what an exceptional personality this candidate really is. Everyone aggrees that he is a really cool guy, always happy to hang out, and have a conversation with anyone. He participates in all the activities, plays both sport and bridge competitively, but still manages to have a great time. He has great manners at the bridge table; he may be the best player at the camp but he never shows it.
He is funny, friendly and genuine and always good-natured, willing to play with weaker players, and take care of the younger players and treat them as an equal, ready to explain anything when asked, but not to criticize. During a team-game he went to great lengths to ensure that he played with all three of his less experienced teammates.
