15 Year membership
« on: February 05, 2025, 19:06:48 »
Nice surprise this morning I received my 15 Year membership badge, lovely quality.
Now I am not sure where to put it as the club badge I have on the front is suffering from constant sandblasting off the road.
Any ideas ?

Received my 15 year membership badges a couple of days ago. Agree, great quality. In fact, very high quality consistent with the excellence of the W113 Pagoda SL Group!. What a fine organization.

Got my 15 year membership award a couple of days ago, hard to believe it's been 15 years as a member.   Who came up with such a great an idea to give out membership awards?

Mine arrived a few days ago, but I don't know when.  I found the envelope propped in a corner hidden from package delivery thieves under the veranda.  I saw it as I was driving out of my driveway.  They are really beautiful.  Where to mount the big one?  The small ones will go on my hat and windbreaker.  I already have the club badge in the grill.

The award looks great on the front bumper, as well as the pin on your lanyard.

I guess the 20 year pin should be coming up next. I myself and the first members should be in line for that one.
Am I right?
