Long Service
Awards
The most highly prized award in the world of Amateur Theatre is
undoubtedly the NODA Long Service Medal signifying 25 years active
and unpaid
service to the amateur movement, on stage or off. Every 5 years thereafter,
provided you remain in active service,
you become eligible for an additional
Silver Bar to the medal, culminating after 50 years service with the Gold Bar,
and after
60 years with the most prestigious award of all, the Diamond Bar.
Normally presented by Societies to individual members as an
expression
of thanks for services rendered, the Medals and Bars, as well as Badges
signifying 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service
and Pins signifying 55, 65
and 70 years of service from eleven years of age, are available on
personal application provided such
application is supported by
confirmatory evidence from an official of your Society.
The service does not have to be continuous, nor does it have to be with
one Society alone, but the necessary official evidence
of active unpaid
service over the appropriate number of years must be provided.
Application forms and full details of the
eligibility rules are
available from Area Councillors.
