Well, you're in luck because now you can have one!
Are you a small town Past Mayor craving respect and recognition for all that mayoring you did?
When the white smoke rose from the council chamber chimney signalling the end of your tenure and the start of another’s was it a bit hard to take?
Starting to feel like a nobody again? It’s not surprising :(
Ross Town Council no longer dish out expensive “past mayor medals” because it was deemed a bit of a waste of public money, so they haven’t awarded them for years. They do however say you are welcome to buy your own and award it to yourself - but would you do that, when your past mayor medal could cost you north of two hundred squid! Yep! They are nuts expensive!
So what can you do when memories fade and those around you might not recognise your service like you do?
Well, fear no more, you can soon be sat around the dinner table with friends wearing a medal.
You can be cruising the streets, window down, sporting a gleaming pendant pinned to your moob or breast.
Off to buy chips? Wear your medal with pride. Show those people in the queue that once in the not-too-distant past YOU were invited to cut the ribbon at the grand opening of a new charity shop, and YOU got to sit in on civic events with other dignitaries from as far afield as Weston-under-Penyard or Gorsley.
Your own medal? Without the exorbinant cost? How is this possible?
