I'd find it a little disconcerting to meet fellow winners in the flesh.

Adrian,
I've now met SO many Spherians (''fellow winners'') I've lost count, and every experience has been marvellous. We are a great bunch of people!
Only last week I nipped onto a Eurostar train to Paris, from St Pancras, to see Brian Allgar and his lovely wife Françoise. We had a wonderful time together: great food and drink, great conversation. What more could anyone want?
You should try it, Adrian. Every summer we have a lunchtime gathering of Eratosphere poets from both sides of 'The Pond', and other countries too, usually in Cambridge, Oxford or London. Firm friendships are forged, and I highly recommend attending such an event. Don't hide yourself away. I, for one, would be absolutely delighted to meet
you !

PS. You could forget all those perceptions of what people look like and see them for real (there aren't any 'warts and all' really, you know! 
)
