Shap Award

Every year between 1998 and 2014 Shap presented an award to someone, or some organisation, that had made an outstanding contribution to RE. The person or persons concerned were invited to one of our meetings, received the award, and in return offered a presentation or seminar to discuss the work on which the award was based. Further, in those now unfortunately too regular years in which one of Shap’s founding members, or stalwarts of yesteryear, has died, the award was presented in his or her name, and someone who knew the person well was invited to speak about him or her.
