knippie Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 What is your opinion on Medals at fun rides?They cost between R10 and R20 per medal(depending on the amount made) and get dumped in a box somewhere in the garage a week after the event.Is there a way that event organisers can come up with something that is a better spend of money to give to finishers of funrides? Give me your ideas!knippie2009-05-28 08:14:48
Evan Andreou Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Branded waterbottle or shirt from the sponsors is going to get a lot more use than the cobwebbed box of medals in the back corner of my garage
Newboy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Agree with Wolverine. A bottle or t-Shirt also gives the sponsor a lot more exposure.
Pickled Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Like the bottle idea, but can they be nice bottle that don't leak everywhere... yeah, know I am being picky, but if they are dodgy bottles, then I will just end up sending them for recycling...
FanieFiets Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 theres no choice of 'likes it'. I do. I got a sh*tload and like having them. Wont mind a T-shirt either. What really is useless is the patches. wtf are we supposed to with them???
Jackes Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 bottle openers. East rand bottle openers, in other words, lighters or teeth ?
Evan Andreou Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 bottle openers. Welcome to the world of screwtop bottles
Mutt Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 theres no choice of 'likes it'.? I do. I got a sh*tload and like having them. Wont mind a T-shirt either. What really is useless is the patches. wtf are we supposed to with them??? I likes them too. Should be an option in the poll.
Joe Low Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 The poll doesnt allow for "we're happy with medals leave it as it is". So it's no good for gauging people's interest in medals. Ur only asking people about variations of your own opinion, which is not to have them. How very socialist/nazi/sabc'ish
Joe Low Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Also not wild about using nouns as verbs "He medalled" "She podiumed" Horribly clunky and brash (sounds like a good name for a firm of solicitors) Blaaaarrrggh. But I'll let Jagwil lead the charge on that one if he likes.
Slowbee Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 If the t-shirts are branded with sponsor's that is great, then I vote for a T-shirt. I will give the t-shirt to my garderner and his mates - they will wear them all the time and increase exposure and sponsor companies will get value for money. A medal - they are stuck behind a bookshelf somewhere
Tumbleweed Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Also not wild about using nouns as verbs ? "He medalled" ? "She podiumed" ? Horribly clunky and brash (sounds like a good name for a firm of solicitors) ? Blaaaarrrggh. ? But I'll let Jagwil lead the charge on that one if he likes. ? what if we created adnouns? kinda like adverbs, but differetn. like my spelling of the last word...
nathrix Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I want: Event Medal/bottle opener with event logo Event T-shirt 2 x branded water bottles
AndreZA Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 T-shirt need to be excellent quality before I wear it and I do not use these crappy bottle like the Hollard ones they give away or sell at bike stores. Give me R30 discount on my entry.
