Awards Scheme application process simplified

With immediate effect, players wishing to claim a Gold, Silver or Bronze Merit Award have a simpler process to follow: No SAE is necessary, all that is now required is the completed Application Card with the full name and address of the claimant on the reverse. The appropriate badge and an A5 certificate on light card will be sent to the address provided.

This will ensure that the certificate arrives in a reasonable condition, and that envelopes used are sturdy enough to take the certificate and the badge.

There is no change to the requirements for qualification; awards are open to Associates who win a recognised competitive singles game, completing one of these three feats for the first time:

BRONZE AWARD - ten hoops in one break, using bisques as needed.
SILVER AWARD - twelve hoop points, including peels if appropriate, in one break, without using bisques either to set up, continue or to complete any leave after the break.
GOLD AWARD - triple peel and winning the game.

Full details of award criteria are on page 15 of the 2003 Fixtures Book.
