Earlier this year we reported that each year the IOQ International Presidents select the best paper given at an Institute conference, seminar, meeting etc anywhere in the world which is adjudged to have contributed the most to the advancement of some aspect of the industry - either technical, environmental, strategic etc.
McDonalds Lime, Oparure Quarry, had already secured three trophies at the Institute of Quarrying / Aggregates and Quarrying Annual Conference held in Auckland in 2008:
* Winstone Aggregates Safety Award
* MIMICO Environmental Excellence Award
* Quarry & Mining Magazine Community & Social Sustainability Award
To have a paper recognised internationally (the Caernarfon Award) was the "icing on the cake"
NZ President, George Kelcher was present at the International Presidents' Meeting held this year (2009) prior to the Southern Africa Conference (Durban) where this year's entries were judged. And now at the Invercargill conference he really enjoyed presenting the Caernarfon Award to Darcy Maddern.
Tim Kennedy, Quarry Manager at Fulton Hogan's operation at Gisborne wins the GoughCat Award for 2009. Gough's Sales Manager, Tony Smith presented the Award together with a cheque for $3,500.
Honorary Fellowships are for recognition of long standing service to the IOQ. John McCallum was this year's recipient
2002, 2003, and 2009.
This is the third occasion this decade that Stevenson's have received the Winstone Aggregates Safety Award for year on year improvements. This year it was Stevenson's Drury Quarry, Auckland.
Quarries Division Manager, Steve Ellis said "It's always great to receive this award, it's for Quarry Manager, Shane Toto, and all the staff at our Drury Quarry - for their commitment"

Roger Mahan's paper "A Lifteime of Contracting and Crushing" was considered the Best Technical Paper for 2009.
When Russell Vickers read out the names Erin and Trevor Tamblyn, this year's receipients of the IOQNZ Shield, the delegates responded with a resounding acclamation in support of their many many years of service and dedication to the NZ Branch of the IOQ.
Erin and Trevor have scarcely missed any NZ Conferences over the past 35 years, and have represented the IOQNZ at several IQA Conferences.
When we recently reviewed the 'Rules of the IOQNZ', Trevor has ensured that the "i's were dotted and the t's crossed"
Great representatives of the aggregate industry. Great examples for us all. Well done
When George Kelcher handed over the President's reigns to Warwick Leach at the 2009 Conference, he is turn received the IOQNZ Shield in recognition of his two year term at the helm.

In 2009 the IOQ was privileged to witness the dedication of one of its members - Selwyn Dodd, Quarry Manager at Winstone Aggregates Otaika Quarry, Whangarei. Not only did he attend all the Auckland Branch Meetings, but he "stepped up to the plate" to fill the void left in the Northland Branch when Dennis Cochrance passed away last March. Selwyn's efforts were rewarded when 82 attended the first 2009 Northland branch meeting in June.
