And the winners are ....

The Guild presented two of its main awards at what I thought was a very successful reception at the Royal on Sunday evening.
The Netherthorpe Award is the Guild's top honour, awarded annually for outstanding service to agricultural journalism.
The recipient this year was Don Gomery, the Guild's long serving secretary who puts in a considerable effort behind the scenes to ensure we are properly organised, as well as editing the Farmers Club Journal and a similar publication by the Worshipful Company of Farmers.
Doing the honours on Sunday was former Guild president Tony Pexton.
Guild council met on Sunday morning and it was interesting that when I asked who had won the Netherthorpe I was told in no uncertain terms that the name would remain secret until the presentation.
That wasn't surprising really given that Don was getting the award and hadn't been told.
It was wonderful as Tony progressed through his speech to see Don surveying the company trying to second guess the winner with the little gems of information that were being let out every now and again.
The best moment of all came though when Tony said the recipient edited the two journals already mentioned. The look on Don's face was a picture as it suddenly dawned on him that he had won.
What a tremendous accolade it is for Don, and one that I know is truly well deserved.
Council on Sunday agreed that future recipients of the award should be given dinner at the Farmers Club for two, as it allows them not just the chance to enjoy a wonderful meal in tremendous surroundings, but also to see the magnificent award that is modelled on a cockerel and which sits permanently at the club bar.
Also handed over on Sunday was the John Deere Awards. They are given to the top two students on the annual training course that I believe is among the most important things the Guild does annually.
Overall winner was Charlotte Johnston, 20. She is on a placement year from her Rural Enterprise & Land Management course at Harper Adams University College, working as a trainee assistant land agent for Warwickshire County Council.
Runner-up was William Wilson, 20, whose family farms near Ipswich. He is studying Food Marketing & Business Economics at the University of Reading.
The winners were decided from test held at the end of this year's course in which all involved had to write about the course.
Judges were yours truly, course tutor David Mascord and Charles Abel, of Farmers Weekly.
The winning entries, and pictures, will be posted on the Guild's website, www.gaj.org.uk
* William was thrown into the deep as his work experience was with Mistral during the Royal Show. It proved an eye-opener, given the decision to end the show a day early because of the weather.
