THE FUCHS MEDAL AWARD

John Hall was awarded The Fuchs Medal for 2006.

Eligibility:

The award is intended to recognise outstanding devotion to the Survey's interests, beyond the call of normal duty, by men or women who are or were members of the Survey, or closely connected with its work. The recipients are usually chosen from those who have given sterling service over a long period of time, and/or those who have made an exceptional contribution in a particular season or seasons.

Nominations may be made by any members of the Survey (past and present), or anyone closely connected with its work, who can speak with personal knowledge of a candidate's contribution. Antarctic stations may make recommendations as corporate bodies, but they should normally submit one name each year. If an Antarctic station does not wish to make a nomination in a given year, this should be reported. Each nomination should be accompanied by a supporting citation - a few lines are not sufficient.

Members of the Committee will not themselves nominate candidates but may, if they wish, stimulate others to submit particular recommendations. More than one medal may be awarded in one year but only in exceptional circumstances. The medal is not normally awarded posthumously.

Past Recipients of the Fuchs Medal:

PLEASE ADDRESS ANY QUERIES IN CONFIDENCE TO DR JULIAN PAREN (BAS CLUB SECRETARY) AT BAS, CAMBRIDGE.
REMEMBER - CLOSING DATE FOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2009 IS 28 FEBRUARY 2009.
