Roger Whitehouse's acceptance speech was concluded with these words:
"To receive this award gives me great pleasure. It honours all our staff, volunteers and members over the last (now) 51 years, in some cases extending to a third or even fourth generation of the same family, the people whose contributions have made it all possible."
