Normally there is one winner and two runners-up, but this year, they tell me, entries were so good that they've chosen four runners-up. My local MP has been invited and hopes to attend, and press releases have gone out to the local papers in the winners' areas. I will let you know more when it is all over.
The awards are run annually by a company called Digital Unite, whose aim is to bring digital literacy to older people who might not otherwise find access easy. They work through their network of specialist DU Tutors, their Community Programmes, and their annual outreach campaign, Silver Surfers' Day, which is designed to encourage organisations of every kind, both large and small, to get involved by running their own events. Digital Unite is Britain's specialist in Digital Inclusion for Older People. You can find out more on http://www.silversurfersday.org/.

Congratulations!
I had only previously met bronze surfers, so knowing a silver one is great!
I just saw the news in the local paper and I had to write to congratulate you. Well done - you deserve it. I hope you have a fun day.
Excellent news Judith! Congratulations! Pics will be appreciated (please)
Thankyou for your congratulations. Lee, I had yours before I set off for London, which was nice. I have certainly had a fun day. Lots of pictures and videos were taken, but not by me, so it may be while before I have some to post. Meanwhile I have come home to find that my local free paper which comes out today has already done a piece on me. I didn't expect it until next week. I'll write more tomorrow.
Congrats, Judith. I didn't know about this group. A wonderful accomplishment for you and what a great day it must be.

Well done - and well-deserved, too. I expect to see your counter's UK visitors total shoot up.
