GOLDEN SPANNER AWARD

The award has been devised and conceived by André Welti (ISM Member 094), as a means of
recognizing outstanding contributions and activity in promoting Meccano as a hobby, on a local or national or international level.
André has generously donated the award itself, which he commissioned from Swiss goldsmith Walter Mörgeli.
Each Award Laureate will receive a lapel badge in the form of a golden spanner as his or her permanent insignia.
