[RC] completion awards - Marlene MossTitle: MessageI really like
getting something with the name of the ride on it. I know that can't
always happen because of expenses so I don't complain if I don't, but that's
just my preference! I love getting t-shirts. I haven't been able to
afford to go shopping for about 3 years now as all extra money goes toward the
horses or rides, so I'd be in a lot of trouble without ride shirts.
Actually, if I don't get a shirt for a completion and one is available to
purchase I almost always will buy one. But I have a great collection of
Linda Fishers shirts from Kenlyn since I've done that ride more than any other -
and none are the same color!
It's great getting
useful things or nifty handmade things or whatever. In general I'm happy
with anything - the variety from different rides is cool. The only
time I ever had a complaint was on my first 50 - I desperately wanted a t-shirt
or at least something that said I did a 50 in a really cool place. The
completion award was a bot knife - which under many circumstances could be
useful so not a bad award. But I've never had a problem with bot fly eggs
and with as much pain as I was in (finding out that CTR in no way prepared my
body for a 50!) I really wanted something that showed what I
did!
I think if you have
sponsors its nice if they can do a gift certificate when it makes sense so
people can pick what they need - or even spend a little more than the
certificate was for! I have coveted every Gamma bucket lid anyone has ever
gotten (and I just got my first from Susie's Shamrock ride!).
