Congratulations to OD's Sheila Carey who has been made an MBE in the New Year Honours list, for services to disability sport in Warwickshire.

Sheila is also a multiple British orienteering champion and double Olympic finalist (800m in Mexico and 1500m in Munich), and carried the Olympic torch in Warwick this summer.

She also received the accolade of a feature in Compass Sport "know your class leader" not too long ago, I am sure Nick will be along soon to tell us exactly which issue....

...and they brought it back earlier in 2012. BEM is correct; OBE would be "Officer of the Order of the British Empire".

And you forgot GBE, not that there's very many of them.
