Nelmit!!!! You're brilliant =D> !!!! Why not create a file on the website somewhere where folks can print off their very own badge (and fill in their own name or username if desired!!!) Of course there is the matter of how to stick it to the lapel???? tape?? Pin??? staple??? (ouch :shock: ) If there were a supply of those handy name badge plastic doohickeys with a built in pin on the back (do you have those in Scotland???) anyone could just slide it in..... :-k Maybe we could arrange there to be some at NRH, and the Mitchell, and Park Circus etc????? Is that possible?????

Best wishes

Now that we're getting all worked up here we need to go back stage and see what can be created. Watch this space!!

Hey Annette - the badge looks great (and so does the top!). I'm sure that it's possible to buy badges from stationery companies with a wee safety pin on the back. We use them for seminars etc at work - and yes they are quite cheap!

Great idea!

That's a good idea in the meantime but that only fills one part of the remit i.e. it won't raise any funds.

OOPS - forgot about that bit :oops: We could use the ones with the safety pins in the interim while we figure out how to get something more permanent.
