Happy to add to the coffers if this is the way to go!!
I'd happily offer $10-$20 for the medal.

And congrats to Swanny, it's well deserved!

Well, we've got money out of the way, so is anyone able to do this? I think it would be a fantastic intitiative, I'm just unsure of how we'd go about it. Could someone contact the club and arrange a meeting with Swanny? I suppose I thought of Joffa (if he has the time) because he's already well-known to the club and even works for them in some capacity as far as I'm aware.

Anyone have any ideas how we'd do this?

why would we need to meet swanny? We could send him the honour....I would be more than happy to help organise this,l the only thing is that we would have to seek permission from Gavin Brown to use his name....is there anybody who can contact him in regards to this...oh and while we are at it, time to call upon the design team to come up with how it should look? fire away!

Cheers

That doesn't mean the present system hasn't worked; just that some are dissatisfied with it. There is no harm in holding a poll to determine what model Nick's netizens want to go with and the current system should and will be one of the options.
Granted, however the system has been used for three years, and results may end up inconsistent in the future (inconsistent with what we've already achieved).

As for the Gavin Brown Medal, it is always possible to simply drop it back to the NicksBB Medal.
