The "wee man" Trophy.
Discussion
Hi
As promised the trophy has now been organised.
Adam and myself had considered a hand made (Machine cut) model of a wedge in alli, suitable mounted. With a smaller version for the yearly winners.
A company (Known by Adam) was approached drawing and pics were provided but they didn't seam to be really interested. So I went to plan B
We have now ordered a 3D image of a "Wedge" inside a clear block 160 x 115 x 80mm
With The inscription on/in it:
The "wee man" Trophy
In Memory of Simon "wee man" Longworth
1966 - 2012
Awarded to the Wedge Personality of Year
This year the actual winner will receive a Large Stern Tankard inscibed with the above but with 2012 added at the end!
We hope you all aprove of this.
We still need futher donations for this so if you wish to help remember Simon please send us your donation.

Hi
Well I can show you the 3D proof of the trophy!
We hope you approve, the actual trophy will look even better if the Tankard is to go by against its proof.
Unfortunately we don't yet have a base for it as we don't have enough funds or confirmed design for that yet!
A wooden, alli or Stainless base are favourite, which the trophy can sit in and the yearly winners names can then be engraved on that!

Andy - I'm sure we can sort something out for the base - we have the technology...
Yes we have the technology but not the money!When the trophy arrives it can be measured and a sutiable base and design can be quoted for and then organised when enough funds are available!

Hi peeps..I have been round to the furniture restorers and he can make a base from walnut with an inlaid brass quadrant on the top edge and a flat facing brass edge on the bottom..French polished for 50 sobs...OR..I have just phoned the antique fireplace company were i used to work and they are looking around for a piece of either black granite or nero marble..(Black with white fissures)..It will probably be a cheaper option..(Probably a drink)..Is it possible to have some measurements so that if they have a piece it can be checked for size and possibly cut..How thick do you want it?..50mm?..Hope this helps...Ziga
Mark
The trophy is still being made, so I can't give the measurements.
Anyway I have been asked to do it so I am sorting it my self.
It's going to be the last thing I am doing for the forum. Due to being so p
s off by PH, yet again an item has been removed or moved!
I intend to have a nice piece of Stainless or alli suitably shaped!
It's not going to be a piece of memoral stone from a grave on the cheap. It's the least I can do for the memory of Simon!

I was in the naughty room on Sat.
But that with other issues going on means that I am not having anything more to do with the forum etc after the fest. It's my person decision as I feel that I have been wasting my time as people don't like my way of doing things and they just ignore post and other things.
