        Plaque just arrived in the post. It's a neat little plaque that's 4" x 4" and I might pin it on the fence where we go through the carport to the garden.

        They're very PC and don't distinguish between bronze, silver and gold. :)

              Just a thought. Are they weather proof?

              Mine arrived today: as you say Shy Knee, very PC (so I'm going to write "Silver" in silver ink just so I'll be reminded when dementia sets in :whistle: )

              I'm not convinced it is weatherproof. Unfortunately, it put me more in mind of a coaster than a plaque :noidea:

              Nice to have though :dbgrtmb:

                  You need to be patient ;)
                  I took the survey when this thread was posted (mid October)
                  I received an email last week informing me I was awarded a Silver certificate (print off myself)
                  Today I received the plaque :)

                  You should know in approx. 3 - 4 weeks time :dbgrtmb:

                      It can't be a coaster as they've drilled two holes in it for hanging it up! ;) :heehee: Otherwise.... :roflol:

                        I'd say it was weatherproof.
