Ahh, I read that differently.
I thought it was a reference to the rule that if you miss out on membership renewal for a year, your 'length of continuous' membership resets (which is fair enough).
I didn't think it meant that if had 3 continuous years they don't send you a 2 yr pin and you have to wait till 5 years.
Probably an @[Larissa] confirmation needed.
If indeed you are correct, maybe the club can offer those the choice to buy previous milestone pins. So if a member has indeed been a member for 20 years, they can also have the choice to buy the 2,5,10, and 15 yr pins if they want to.
However, it's a great new project Manly have started and bound to have a few teething problems. Also there wasn't even pins in the past so we shouldn't get too hung up about it, the club and all of us other members still value the support by all the other members.
Happy families, happy days! Happily Manly!
