Mike Bishop Award - 75th Cooma

[ChookD2]

So after reading this on FB this morning I asked myself.... and now I'm asking everyone here......

How do we get Incisor nominated for this award? Does anyone know anyone to ask how the nominations work, what the criteria are?

Win or not he deserves to be nominated because I think, and many would agree, he has "made significant contribution to the preservation of Land Rover history and heritage".

Great idea, Ray. I've messaged the organisers, so I'll wait and see what they say.

[ChookD2]

(crickets) Awaiting further response.

[ChookD2]

I'm not on LinkedIn so have emailed Michael at classic-jaguarlandrover.com Tried a few different variations but kept getting bounced. So I sent it to sales@ will wait and see what result that brings.

Seems likely, page 2. I'm not able to commit to attending so I won't be booking. Anybody else??

[Pedro_The_Swift]

We'll see what Tricia has to say about a non-booking-form nomination....

[3toes]

Is there someone on here who is going and can use their form if that is what is required after the conversation over Christmas

[V8Ian]

I think those attending have already submitted their forms.

Hmmm. I haven't received an acknowledgement, now you mention it!


EDIT: Oops! I just checked the emails and got a reply on the 8th of Feb. In my defense, our email address has been out of action from the 27th of January until today.

[ChookD2]

If others want to try to get Inc's name forward for the Mike Bishop Award, you could try emailing

info@landrover75thanniversary.com.au

Can't hurt to try.

[RANDLOVER]

Who won the award in the end?

[ChookD2]

Some old bloke who had restore a few Land Rovers. [bighmmm][bigwhistle][bigsad]

[RANDLOVER]

Centenarian Cliff Byfield's love of classic cars is all the motivation he needs for a long, happy life - ABC News (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-22/cliff-byfield-classic-cars-restoration/102245410)

Not this guy, he is a hundred years old and has restored lots of cars and is still doing so? I don't know if he has done a Land Rover though.

anyone??

[ChookD2]

Can't find mention of the winner on the 75th Facebook or YouTube accounts.

So, probably not a very prestigious award anyway, otherwise it would have got some coverage.

And given to someone more deserving (who we know).

[goingbush]

I'll ask mike himself and see if he knows.

[goingbush]

Ian Duddy won the Mike Bishop award. Mike says he has saved a lot of Land Rovers esp early Range Rovers in the 1990's.
