Wow! I am in complete shock and have had very little sleep. No official photographs yet but here's two taken before the awards ceremony last night at Old Billingsgate, London (a most amazing venue).
I'm pictured with my nominator and manager, Anne Haig Smith, and my 'personal guest' (my husband!).
All I can say at the moment is a big thank you to all of my site users - especially those of you that have contributed resources and made the site so successful. I couldn't have done it without you.
I'd also like to thank everyone at Abingdon and Witney College for their support, and, of course, the students whose individual learning needs inspired me to create many of the original site resources.
Thanks also to LSIS for putting on such a magnificent event and many congratulations to all the nominees who attended last night.

The offical photos are now on the Star Awards site
Here's one of them!
I am over the moon and the prize money will mean that, in time, you will notice some changes (for the better) on http://www.skillsworkshop.org/

Hi Maggie. This is nothing short of what you deserve. Your site has certainly made my life much easier. Thanks for all your hard work. Lynn
Congratulations and best wishes for continued good work.

Woo-hoo, an award for someone who DEFINITELY deserves it! I really hope you're not overlooked in the media reports on the awards. After the missed opportunity with A Certain Channel 4 Programme people need to know that literacy and numeracy tutors are out there in the community and ready to help!
Congratulations Maggie! - you truly deserve to have your commitment and passion rewarded this way! As a colleague and new basic Skills tutor at A & W College,you truly inspired me and have made my job much more manageable with your superb website - thank you!
Congratulations. You truly deserve this for all your hard work in producing a site that is so useful to many, many tutors, and so in turn helps thousands of learners around the country. You are a Star
Maggie, Congratulations and Well Done!
From a very proud brother!
Very well deserved. We couldn't believe it here at ITeC when we realised the Skills Workshop site was essentially one person's project!
Congratulations Maggie. This really is the very best resource site out there, and I am so proud to be a contributor to it.
Good for you Maggie!
As a new teacher our site has been a lifeline.
I am now a proud contributor and hope I help some others in a similar way.
Well done and best wishes

Hi, Breakfast Cereals - I just wanted to say how good John Kerrane's activity
L2breakfastcereals is. I've been working through it myself and see lots of scope for using long division, decimals and an understanding of percentages in it. Thanks so much, Anne Carlill
