I have mixed feelings about honours lists, but since it will help Doddie in his cause, signed and shared


I absolutely agree with that , but if anyone deserves one . . . . !



Phil from the old FOSRS forum raised a pertinent question, has anyone nominated Doddie?

afaia, anyone can nominate someone for these things, it can be done online

Could you let us know what the answer is plz?

I wonder if it makes any difference who the proposer is? Whatever the case having a petition behind the proposal can only help, I guess

After winning the monthly vote, Doddie is now in the frame for the overall 2018 Laureus Best Sporting Moment award. Vote here :

https://mylaureus.com/

Getting a lot of traction on social media, so he will be in with an excellent chance if everyone gets voting.

There are of course many worthy causes, but you may care to vote for My Names Doddie as the Scottish charity of the year :

Scottish fiddler Bruce MacGregor, former captain of Highland Rugby Club in Inverness, has written a tune called Doddie's Dream, it can be bought from Amazon or iTunes with the proceeds going to Doddie's foundation which funds research into MND.

Bruce apparently played alongside Doddie in the Scottish Students side
