A medal update for you all. I have just signed off the new order for Season Two with our manufacturer and following a sensible comment made on the forum a couple of days ago, I have had the Online and Regional medals reduced in size versus the National medal, to protect the "uniqueness" of National medals.
The smaller medals (40cms versus 70cms) will still feature the same APAT design with smart presentation case and be a fantastic added value award.
Winning an APAT National event over two or three days of live play is a great poker achievement and I think it is right that the medal awards reflect this.
-
This seems a sensiable idea Des.
Just one thing though. I know its probably a cost issue but is there a way the medals could be engraved with what they are for. (yes I can hear people saying get it done yourself).

i think this is a good idea bodders. trouble if someone had it done themself, is that it wouldnt feel right or the same as if it was presented to you like that.
might well be a cost issue though!

Great idea - I felt a fraud when I got my silver medal for an online tourney (can you see what I did there? :) ) and am right behind differentiating the nationals from the rest. It"s a massively bigger achievement IMO.

Each medal does come with an engraved plaque stating which event it was won at. That can"t be bad.

Sounds good to me. :)
I take it there are still some season one medals to be despached though?
(yes,i am waiting on one,i think!)

I take it you are refering to season two medals, as the one I recieved for season one does not have a plaque.

This sint a moan or push as i understand people have more improtant things to tend to and im happy to wait for as long as i have to... Just looking forward to receiving mine :) Should have 2 on the way, a bronze from the cardiff regional and silver from the Swiss open online. (played 2, won 2 ;) lol) Doubt i"ll be able to keep it up though ;D
Thanks

Great start to the season Matt. The medals are being manufactured as we speak and I hope to have the first batch ahead of Walsall, so that we can allocate at that time.
-
Does this mean that you"ll be handing them out at Walsall? ;D
-
That"s the plan.
-
Are the medals really 40cm and 70cm across? I won one in the Polish Open and when it arrives I might need to get my fireplace strengthened!
-
no, nothing like that big, very useful as card protectors!!
;D
-
should i have received my silver online medal by now?
-
Over 50 online and regional medals were awarded in Cardiff. The remainder will be despatched from the manufacturer over the next two weeks. If you are due one, please make sure we have your most up to date address.

By post Warren...that keeps the costs down. Good thinking though, let me know if your company ships big parcels....30kgs plus.
