The Helping Hand Award

[Penfold]

Those of you that have attended a LAN will know that we give the 'Helping Hard Award' to someone who has particularly helped out in making that event a success.
From this point on, the current and previous recipients of the Award will have the Helping Hand Badge .

This award is generally only given once. To keep a track of the recipients of the award, here is a list of the previous winners.

Lan V - Benny - April 2004
Lan VI - GhostMjr - October 2004
Lan VII - Norm - April 2005
Lan VIII - Doorman - October 2005
Lan IX - Penfold, Whitey & Ninja_Freak - April 2006
Lan X - Bob - October 2006
Lan XI - Sheepy - April 2007
Lan XII - Whitey - October 2007
Lan XIII - BigFatCat - April 2008
Lan XIV - Blueball (in absentia) -October 2008
Lan XV - Ninja_Freak - April 2009
Lan XVI - GhostMjr - October 2009
Lan XVII - OldBloke - April 2010

(Please note that there are a lot more people that help in making the LAN's a success and they will have a current red LAN badge).

Thanks to you all for your work.

It would be nice to see the helping hand badge awarded permanently for those that have won it.

A good point and one which we're currently discussing..... will post back shortly.

Cheers!

Maybe two colours one for current helping hand award holder and one for previous holders?

[OldBloke]

Maybe two colours one for current helping hand award holder and one for previous holders?

That would increase the administration unnecessarily IMHO - the award (current or previous) carries the same weight

[Penfold]

Discussed and motion carried.

The HHA will be awarded to both current and past recipients.

Thanks.

i did have a lan helper badge as if you remember it was just too close to call for the helping hand so, i think in the end cat got it, and it was well deserved, i got me entrance back and a nice red lan helper badge..... its now gone ..... can i have it back?

or does the year only thing apply to that?

or maybe a black hand on white background, with the annotation "too close to call for helping hand so we gave you yor money back"

With the exception of the helping hand award, the Lan badges are valid for twelve months, so get to the next LAN if you want your badge back
