Mette DROGEMULLER
Denmark

Our final award goes to someone who typifies the definition of a suitable candidate: always willing to lend a helping hand, cheerful and friendly, with an enthusiasm not only for bridge but for the many activities which take place during the camp. Adept at dealing with problems, she was frequently the first on hand when an emergency arose. She was nominated in vast numbers by players from every corner of the globe, evidence of her deserved popularity. Her behaviour both at and away from the table was in accordance with the now firmly established traditions of the camp. Her performance was simply 'dynamite'. Aged 24 she works in an office in Copenhagen. Please come forward, Mette Drøgemüller of Denmark.

Daniel STANGHELLE
Norway

Our second candidate is Scandinavian. Another veteran of the camps, but still facing many years as a junior he is blessed with the ability to make new friends seemingly at will. His standard answer to every request is 'No problem'. He has earned the respect of his fellow participants by his behaviour both at and away from the table. He has a deserved reputation for maintaining contact with his newly found colleagues, even crossing continents for a game of bridge. It is a mark of his popularity that he is best known by his nickname, by now familiar to you all. Aged 20 and still a student, please step forward, 'Snus', alias Daniel Stanghelle of Norway.

Schelte WIJMA
The Netherlands

Our first award goes to a participant from one of the 'low' countries. In many ways this person typifies the characteristics embodied in a successful candidate. Friendly towards their fellow participants and willing to take part in every event, always with a different partner or group, with the prime objective being to have a good time, regardless of the outcome. This behaviour has been in evidence at a number of camps, but now the junior career of the recipient of this award is almost at an end. Aged 24, he works for an Insurance Company in the field of computers. Please welcome the Netherlands Schelte Wijma.

Daniel ZAGORIN
USA

Our third award goes across the water. Its recipient proved to be one of the friendliest inhabitants of the camp. Conversations with his fellow participants quickly established that beneath his somewhat exuberant exterior lay a warm sense of humour and considerable personality. His kindness towards his partners at the table and his willingness to accept the blame endeared him to everyone. The stories of his homeland, relating to both his life and his bridge adventures never failed to be of interest. Aged 25, practically an 'oldie' he trades grain futures at the Chicago Board of Trade. Congratulations, Daniel Zagorin of the USA.
