Zonal Representatives who have given sterling service over a 10 year period. Holders of Ancillary Official posts in the Society who have served over an appreciable number of years. Members of various Society Committees who, although possibly not being in the forefront of activities, have nevertheless served conscientiously over an extended period of time.

Or a person who makes a substantial and noteworthy contribution in a lesser period of time. Generaly nominations for this award are made by branches. The nomitiaon should be proposed and seconded and be accompanied by a thorough C.V. These should be sent to the Secretary of the BCSS and will be assessed by the Board of Trustees.
