Sarah Murdoch announced the winner of the Gavin Brown medal as "Scott Pendlebury" then said "Oh no , I'm so sorry , I'm so sorry it's .... the winner is Dane" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

We now commence Operation "Get Cheap Trophy and Deliver it to Dane Swan". All in favour say... something? :P

No way a cheap trophy.

It's called the Gavin Brown Medal.

I suggest we notify Swanny immediately (although he's probably read this thread already:)) and give him the medal (actually, 3 medals) when some money comes in.

By the way, thanks David. Well done.

Please put in the details of where to send our contributions.
Donny.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

Despite Tannin's misgivings, I think we're going to go for paypal. It's probably the most secure and convenient method of transferring money that I can think of, short of giving out my bank account details.

The email address of my Paypal account is david_Lpfan @ hotmail.com. Feel free to chip in however much you feel like - a couple of dollars from 10-20 people should be more than enough. :)

Donny, how do you propose we best go about notifying Dane?

Although it is, of course, the Gavin Brown Medal, for some reason I prefer the idea of an actual trophy. That way we can actually engrave Dane's name, etc. I suppose medals can be engraved, but I'm not sure if it's usually done that way.

Here's the site I've been looking at, anyway. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Actually, this one looks quite good.

I like the idea of a trophy as well which can be added to each year as well as the individual medal, depending on what money comes in.

Although where to keep it is the problem, worthy of the Westpac trophy cabinet? :lol:

a medal mounted on a trophy? A big bastard trophy so it stands out amongst his others.

I didn't mind the look of that clock you put on line a couple of weeks ago - a "time honoured" trophy !

That would be fine - if we were Richmond.

I agree with Eddie that we should have a perpetual shield (as I mentioned in the other thread) that has a smaller shields, engraved with the year and winner's name, added each year.

Additionally, each year's winner would get a medal - engraved with his name, the year and some mention of Nick's - which he'd keep.

The Nick's Shield would definitely be worthy of a place in the Club's trophy cabinet.

Re. contacting Swanny. As a Nick's mod, I'd be happy to contact the Club, on behalf of Nick's members, with regard to contacting him.
Donny.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D
