The SKW 50 Year award is one of the highest honours that the club bestows on members. At the moment the highest honour is the 60 Year award made from pure gold. While a few membership awards where handed out this year, the fi rst 60 Year award is due to be handed over in 2011, since the SKW was founded in 1951.
