20th
Marine Society - Thomas Gray Medal
The Marine Society has put out a call for nominations for its Thomas Gray Silver Medal.
The award is in recognition of exceptional deeds of merit at sea and includes services to seafarers in the broadest sense.
These deeds may be related to any aspect of seafaring, including saving of lives, the well-being of seafarers and any exceptional deeds related to the business of seafaring.
So the spectrum of eligibility is quite broad. One award is made each year. This year’s award will be presented at the charity’s Annual Court on 12 October 2011.
The closing date for nominations is 30 June 2011.
The terms of this medal preclude its being granted if the recipient has already been honoured for the same action.
