Dear all,
the RAS members among you will have received this directly
from the RAS, but I am re-sending it to catch the Geological
Society members of the British Geophysical Association,
and the non-members on this list. If you know of anyone
you think deserving of a Royal Astronomical Society medal,
then please do draw up a nomination (follow the links for
criteria and instructions) and let us know,
and we'll look for some RAS members to front it if you
can't find any in your own orbit.
Regards,
Sheila Peacock,
list co-owner.
