I guess we will just do the UOM from month end to middle of the month as that will actually mean we are letting the whole month go by before we nominate people for deeds done that month (or really even in months past).
So...without further ado....please nominate ONE person you feel should get the award for November.
Thanks,
Jim
PS: I don't ussually nominate people but I want to recognize PenPen (Anthony) for putting in a lot of time lately on doing translations for the French site (and helping coordinate with the other volunteers). I nominate PenPen.

Hi there
This month I'm nominating CRS. Somehow, I'd always assumed he was a previous winner, so I was absolutely stunned to realise Chuck's never received the Golden Rivet.
The work Chuck puts into Armorama is totally astounding! He's here day and night - well, at least it seems that way from this side of the Pond - making sure the Aircraft forum runs smoothly.
I really can't understand how he's managed to avoid being UOM for so long.
All the best

RayW for me.
A nice guy and a great modeler. He's also provided some review content for the figure section which is always a bonus.

Very, very difficult I would have to say that Costas (Major Goose) is my nomination of the month - several salient points here:
1) He is the first to welcome new people to the site... A very undervalued skill
2) He's an all-round nice guy...Jim

I nominate Major Goose. He's just an all-around nice guy who deserves to have the Order of the Golden Rivet. He does fantastic work as well! Thanks for your time.

Trackjam for me. He is very helpful with all manner of Canadian forces and was kind enough to send me line drawings of the LAV III TUA, all without a second thought.

Once again I nominate good old Pvt Parts......
especially for all the work he did getting the AGE2 Campaign up and running again.
Although he hasn't been here as much lately, he has in own business, and has to do
the work, when the work comes in. And right now he is a little swamped.... and that's good when you are self-employed.

I want to nominate salt6. He was gracious enough to send me his spare E100 turret when Dragon couldn't (wouldn't?) replace it.
