A little program written as a demonstrator to show someone how to solve
a real problem. I make no claims of elegance or efficiency. The data
is fake (Phil may want to improve this!).

-- In a public award scheme, each entrant can receive awards
-- based on their scores in a number of events. To achieve an
-- award, the competitor must have competed in three events
-- and achieved a total score greater than the fixed threshold
-- for the award.
-- No score can be counted towards more than one award,
-- but there is no limit on the total number of awards that can be won.
-- The thresholds for the various awards are:
-- Gold 70 points
-- Silver 60 points
-- Bronze 50 points
