Ladies, Gentlemen and Igors, it's that time of the year again when we must consider those who have made the greatest contribution to this fine forum. The Bellies are among the most prestigious awards on Boards (the others which will spring to mind any week now), and honour those Brothers and Brotherettes whose actions and posts have gone above and beyond the call of duty in promoting the BGRH lifestyle. Before I go any further, may I remind you of last year's winners:

Brother of the Year - Brother The Rigger

Brotherette of the Year - Brotherette Irishbird

Mod of the Year - Brother Tom Dunne

Thread of the Year - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bar is Now Open

Non-BGRH Poster of the Year - Honorary Brother Terry

The standard last year was exceptionally high, but I have no reason to doubt that this year will be any different. The winners in each category win the coveted Belly statuette:

This year, in addition to the above categories, there will be at least one extra award - The Lunchtime Achievement Award. This award will not be voted upon like the other categories, but instead will be awarded to the person who, in the eyes of the judging panel, has made a contribution to BGRH so great that they shall be deemed worth of induction into the great pantheon that is The BGRH Hall of Fame. This award will be announced at the same time as all the other winners.

So, to start things rolling, we need some nominations. Each voter may nominate one person/thread only in each category, and they will only be accepted if made in this thread. If more than one nomination is made in a category, neither will count. Once all the nominations have been made I'll put up polls for people to vote for the most popular nominees in each category.

The award categories are below, however if you feel there's an additional category that deserves an award, please feel free to include it. The merits of these additional categories will be assessed by the judging panel prior to the voting polls being posted.

Brother of the Year
Brotherette of the Year
Mod of the Year
Thread of the Year
Non-BGRH Poster of the Year

I'll add my nominations later when I've had a bit of a think about them.

Closing date for nominations is November 30th.

And there he is, BGRH's answer to Larry Gogan, it's Brother Zaph, all restored to his former glory.

Brother of the Year : Brother Zaph, for bringing masculinity to the Ladies Loune
Brotherette of the Year : PinkFluffyBunny, one word: Chicken Burgers
Mod of the Year : Robbo, for not getting emotionally involved
Thread of the Year : The Limerick Thread one of the finest threads this forum has ever produced
Non-BGRH Poster of the Year : Wibbs. Always there, but never here.

I think we should also have a Newcomer of the year award since we have had so many n00bs in BGRH.

For that award, I nominate none other than, (drumroll) Trowelled. Um, I think it was the She Ra costume that convinced me.

An unworthy lurker Sir, in such worthy company(the fivers in the post).

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
