The intent of the Dimmie Fleming award is to publicly recognise those people who do not hold an official (i.e. EBU) office, but have, for a long time - say, 20 years or so - worked hard for bridge, usually at County and/or Club level. Board Directors, Vice Presidents, EBU employees and Panel Tournament Directors are excluded from nomination. However, after holding office, such people are eligible for an award, but it should not be given just for service in that capacity.
Nominations are made in writing and a panel of 'judges' then decides whether they are eligible for such an award. All nominations should state that the approval of the County Committee has been obtained.There are no restrictions on the number of nominees made by a County in any one year.
