Some discussion has led here as some of you may be aware.
I have taken the task, (which btw i take as an honour,) of finding a suitable award/trophy in Chris's name to present to a worthy forum member on an annual basis.
I have looked at quite a few trophys and awards over the last few weeks and it's hard to see anything that simply represents what i beleive is needed as a dedicated "Chris" award, but one i have seen i keep coming back to. It shows the lines and the art nuveou style that imo Chris would like, having taken many requests from him and Tim over the last few years for decal ideas etc.
With the remaining funds of the collection we had for Chris back in January, we have had this made:
This is what i think would do a "Chris Adams award" justice for us all.
28.5cm (11.5")
It's not specific, but it represents something/somebody special.
Engraved on the plaque:
The lucky recipient will hold this trophy for 12 months, handing it over to his/her successor the following year in exchange for a brass plaque (similar to the ones we get at Harewood) inscribed with the same text as the trophy but with their name added below.
I have also sent an email to Tim, notifying him of this award and i suggest that since he will be in attendance at Blackpool this year, it would be the ideal venue for the first presentation.
