I am lead to beleive that years ago at our club, if whoever was lucky enough to win a Monthly Medal you got a medal for it. Do any of your clubs give out Medals or do you just get a voucher.

I'd like to see medals given out again. It's only 6 (medals) a year so can't be that expensive.

We give out medals at our monthly medal comps, you don't get it straight away though as they are presented at our annual presentation night (the big social of the year that most club members attend).
I think it's nice to get something you can show for you're achievements, a voucher is good but when it's spent, it's spent.
I have 2 monthly medals for this year so far and 1 from last year that is on show in the cabinet with my 1 other trophy. :) It's a reminder that I can do it.

We do medals for each division winner for each monthly medal and hand them out at the annual awards ceremony in December. Was lucky enough to win won last year.

When we were at the old club in the middle of the racecourse they use to give out commemerative ceramic small tankards with the club crest on the front and your name and the events on the inside rim.

We give medals for each division and if there are enough people playing then each division winner also gets a shop voucher.
The medals are quite good - got a reasonable hoard over the years and the vouchers get used for lessons or balls. Its a good idea, you've got something to show off and you get some equipment as well.

Each division winner gets a cash sweep, £20-40 depending on entries. They also get a presentation 'medal' (normally an engraved glass disc) at the presentation evening in october.

Each club competition is £3.50 to enter. This covers - Entry fee, money sweep, and ball sweep for any 2's, (sweeps are optional). Very good value i feel.
