Title: Maggi Young made Honorary Vice President of the SRC
Post by: Liz Mills on November 13, 2010, 08:42:48 PM
:) :) :) I'm delighted to tell you all that Maggi Young was made an Honorary Vice President of the Scottish Rock Garden Club at its AGM earlier today. This is an honour given to very few people in our Club and is in tribute to the marvellous work Maggi has done and continues to do in running this Forum.
You will all know better than I the countless hours she devotes to dealing with all your posts and the superb job she does in keeping you all in touch with each other. I also can't think of a nicer person to have received this award.
So thank you, Maggi, from me and everyone else in the Scottish Rock Garden Club. Lang mae yer lum reek.
And, no, we're not going to let you change your title to the Honorary President of Vice!
Liz

It was the first time EVER, that I've seen our dear Maggi speechless. We all know how much time, effort and devotion Maggi puts into this forum, and I was thrilled to be there to see her given this well deserved recognition! Bravo Maggi.
Now, about that cake.... There she was, trying not to drool as she carefully cut pieces of a special cake with erythronium iced flowers adorning it (made lovingly by Margaret Taylor in honour of Ian's 60TH birthday). And as I know many of you like cakes, I must report that it was the best fruitcake I've ever had. Margaret told us she put a lot of Madiera into it after it had been made about 6 weeks ago. Sure was moist....
Lots of celebrating this afternoon. But I'm sure Maggi and Ian will be posting some great photos of the AGM.

Nobody was more pleased and proud than I when Maggi received the Honorary Vice President award- this was the best birthday present I could have.
I know more than anyone just how much work and how many hours she dedicates to the SRGC both on and off line .
Before Maggi sees and sensors the picture of her receiving the award from President Liz Mills I will post it here.
Also as promised the picture of my 60th Birthday Cake - what a day it was.

Brian and I are thrilled at the award and Brian wants to know how low he has to kowtow now Maggi has this superior position?
On behalf of myself and Lesley Cox I want to thank all the Forumists who joined in Maggi's nomination for the Golden Jubilee Salver over the past 3 years. We may not have achieved that award but I think our voice has most certainly been heard. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Goodness me, what an avalanche of good wishes........ I'm very happily overwhelmed, my heartfelt thanks to all of you.
I am very proud to join the little group of nine other Honorary Vice Presidents of the Club and hope to be as good an ambassador in this capacity as they have been.
There may yet be some way to go to convince everyone of the worth of the website in not only bringing together the existing world wide membership of the club but also its capacity to generate new members, and new younger members ( ;) ) in the "modern world" but I have faith that this community can hang in there and show the way and it is wonderful that the SRGC has recognised the website via this award to me.
I was completely taken by surprise by the announcement at the AGM, hence my impression in Ian's photo, of a fish gasping for airt, and I have to say, I was worried about the "vice" part.... I'm a bit past a life of drink and gambling, really..... ;)
I hope I'll be around to harry you all and serve the Club,for a long time to come.
Many, many thanks to the SRGC for the honour and to all of you for your wonderful words of support and congratulations, here and by message.
