Posed this in Angie's thread, but I think it deserves one of its own - comments appreciated...

"OK, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest this:

CLICKY

What we have here is a blank trophy with:

1. A lid for holding The Shards

2. A blank base for engraving the winners

3. Is over a foot tall

I've got in on "watch", so if I get a suitable number of positive replies in the next 19 hours, I'll go ahead and buy it. Anyone who wants to contribute to the cost can donate some money to the 24 Peaks fund."

Where/how you gonna stick the ball to it? ;)

Mind you - we'll have that problem whatever we end up with...

I like it!

My only niggle would be that there's a kinda nobility in half-killing ourselves to compete for temporary ownership of a load-of-crap-we've-nicked-from-a-pub-and-stuck-together.

Badly.

Alternatively we could go for something like this?
(Seem to be a few around the ten dollar mark, and Jamie's engraver would still be in a job!)

Of course, we could always just nick *another* pint glass, and put the pieces of the old one in that...

Toby reckons his dad can make a nice humble wooden receptacle.

Toby has a wooden dad?

I'm not even broaching the 'receptacle' part of the statement.

Yep, everyone seemed to like the Smashes in the Salutation Inn. Was Kneller2's idea.

I think Stef offered to craft a metallic trophy..... which could be used to protect the victors from the smashes?

Oooohhhhhh, The Smashes! Am liking that lots.

Really though, it doesn't matter what form the next trophy takes - you can guarantee that Gatesy, Shiny, Me or Angie will break it.

It's a given.

I thought this was a thread about a new band.
I didn't even realise it was in the GGF4 forum...
