Has anyone had an issue with a wooden medal fading? OH has wooden medals from as far back as 2018 all on display on a rack and as good as new.

Sombrero Jul 2023 10:13pm, 23 Jul 2023 13,255 posts	0 Sombrero During lockdown I organised virtual races and all the medals were wooden, with the designs lasered on. They're all in really good condition.

LazyDaisy Jul 2023 8:16am, 24 Jul 2023 38,569 posts	0 LazyDaisy Morning! I still have my wooden medal from Som and it's as good as new Very dismal morning with steady drizzle here. It's also our wedding anniversary (47th ) but OH is in the throes of a nasty cough and cold so we'll delay our lunch out to celebrate til later in the week. I think it's a morning for a Nike Train Club workout with my dumb-bells
