I agree wholeheartedly that Steve's efforts deserve recognition. As to a tankard - anyone ever seen him with a drink in his hand? I seem to recall seeing him with half a shandy in the Dove one evening during the build up week about 10 years ago... Maybe there's a better gift? - but a tankard would be be approriate from the MBS and I'm sure he'd appreciate the sentiment. More generally, given the largely unseen work Steve does outside Sidmouth, especially as secretary to the AFO, I'd think an MBE might be approriate. I'm sure he's contributed as much to folk music and dance as Messers Carthy and Thomas (and for much less thanks). Bob
