Firstly to Phil Townsend (aka TRB) - As I have just said on twitter, I have genuinely never been more delighted to call someone my friend. You are a friend, mentor and true inspiration. Of course, don't get too carried away with 12 years of dedicated hard work, there are still a couple more years of work yet to be done!
To all the SWAG members, this is the dream you started & I am merely a recent interloper who couldn't help himself but get involved... you all deserve the credit today as well and hope people will not forget this.
In particular I would personally single out Dave Jenison, Matt Lindop, Phil Hulme & Sue Parker for all the work they have put in and the constant support that both Phil & i got any time we asked and often when didn't even have to!
A double special mention to Judith Gibson, who's passion & dedication to the club and the Newmarket site (also as a Stanley resident!) was an inspiration to me. She also, more importantly did all the admin tasks that no one else likes to do and sorted through, counted and photocopied every single Statements of Support, which I think made a massive contribution in making the inspector understand the level of support for the scheme. The club is lucky to have such nice, dedicated supporters.
Of course Andrew Glover & James Elston and everyone at the club for all their support. I think once we got Andrew on the right page, shortly after he rescued the club, his belief that we could all do this never wavered. James is a great humble guy and happy to do anything we asked of him & the club, top man, top RL CEO.
I am also going to thank Ted Richardson. This started out as his baby and he deserves recognition for that & probably much more.
Also, thanks must go to Sir Rodney, Collin Mackie & all at Yorkcourt. I am looking forward to continue working with you to make this dream a reality. Also to Ian Thomson & Richard Hollinson and all the WMDC planning team for all their hard work and being both professional and honest about the whole process. You were right, this was always the best site and now two inspectors have proved it!
Finally, thanks to any one and every one who did something, even just signing the petition or in most cases, much, much more.
Top job, only another 2 years to go now!
can't celebrate tonight ,got a medical in morning,but will make up tomorrow night,once again thank you IA and all your team 
ah, erm, well, that's probably the answer you'll get if you rely on an incomplete set of ageing mark I brain cells 
Should have used the technology.
