BCRA awards the Arthur Butcher prize annually for contributions to cave surveying. The judges consider projects brought to their attention during the year, as well as all surveying work that is on display at the Hidden Earth conference. This year the award goes to Anna Mason for her 3D Video Surveying.
Anna will receive a cheque for £100 from BCRA and the Arthur Butcher trophy to keep for one year.
Citation by Wookey, on behalf of the judges, Wookey, Anthony Day, Olly Betts
Giles Barker lost his life while caving in Spain in 1992. An accomplished cave photographer, Giles was a member of the Red Rose CPC and Morgannwg CC. These clubs have annually, since 1993, presented the Giles Barker Award in his memory. This prestigious award is given to a person connected with any aspect of cave photography in recognition of his or her excellence and contributions to the field. For 2009, the Giles Barker Award was presented to a photographer whose published work has surely been seen by all cavers at some point, whether in a book or magazine or, commonly, as an original b&w print handed around at a club meeting. His work over many decades has demonstrated his abilities and he is widely respected in the caving community, often being invited to photograph new discoveries, always to a high standard. Clive Westlake is therefore an eminently suitable recipient of this year's award, a hand-crafted statue of a cave photographer made by Ceris Jones and funded by Giles' old clubs, which was presented at Hidden Earth in September 2009.
