[blockquote]The judges were impressed by the depth, quality and variety of Tim’s work. The competition was very strong, and the decision very difficult, but in the end Tim stood out as the winner this year. IABSE is delighted to be able to award him the much coveted Milne Medal, and we all look forward to what we expect to be an inspirational lecture on 19th November.[/blockquote]
