In November 2011 OPERC, the Off-highway Plant and Equipment Research Centre (click OPERC for details) held their Annual Conference at Birmingham City University

At this conference I was presented with an OPERC Gold Medal for services to OPERC, I'm not quite sure what these services were but it was very nice of them. Below is a photograph of the presentation by Professor Dave Edwards
