Gunther, the Royal Oak I visit is in Wales, not Scapa Floe.

The Royal Oak having closed (and I set this up before visiting)

Now, the big one, the Winner of the Mudcatter of the Year Award 2001.

It was a hard choice, but I can say without fear or favour it was a unanimous decision of our electoral college (me).

First and foremost in the nominations as they rolled in, was the overwhelming gratitude to those who spent their time and effort keeping the site running, correcting our errors, passing out good advice, and information and acting as a moderating influence.

I am humbly proud to announce the Joint winners of the

Mudcatter of the Year 2001

In no particular order, the joint winners are: -

Max,
Joe,
Pene,
The Mudcat staff & helpers,
The Joe Clones,
The Mud Elves,
&
Everybody who took the time to answer, or help on a question..

All those involved in the nominations, and those who nominated, not thinking of themselves, are awarded the
Mudcat Gold Star of Unselfish Merit.

Thank you all for participating.

Gareth
