This was x-posted but appears not to be in here, so here it is again:
Earlier in the year a number of us who are regulars on uk.rec.cycling and also members of the
Cyclists' Touring Cub (CTC), the UK's largest and oldest cycling organisation (125 years this year),
proposed a motion to the CTC honouring Sheldon Brown for his tireless work.
I am pleased to say that this was approved, and the CTC have duly presented a Certificate of
Commendation.
I have today received the framed Certificate and accompanying Citation, both of which I will be
shipping to Sheldon soonest. It seems appropriate, though, to announce this via Usenet, and to
post below a scanned image of the Certificate - as a form of virtual presentation. The original
is, I hasten to add, nicely framed with gilt and calligraphy - any deficiency in the image is due
to my ineptitude with the scanner and the fact that I neglected to scan the certificate before it
was framed.

I haven't scanned the Citation as it's in a sealed envelope (having written the thing you would
think I'd have a copy, but no...) - no matter, though. We all know what Sheldon does. And nobody
does it better.
Sheldon, if it's not too presumptuous, on behalf of the many British cyclists to whom you have
offered your wisdom over the years - thank you.
