| 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 a Gold Bar, and after 60 years 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 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 email from the Area Treasurer. |
