Tessa said: "The society has done a huge amount for me. Giving something back has been an enormous pleasure."

Diana said: "Being given this award for doing something I love makes me a very lucky person."

Desi said: "The society has a world position and world respect. It's achieved that respect thanks to the people who have served the society absolutely unselfishly and through thick and thin. This is especially true of the Martin-Bird family, who are synonymous with the society's success."
