By club, do you mean the EB society or the forums?

Either way, as far as I know, sadly there are no badges. There totally should be though. Little badges with EBS on them would be lovely. Hint hint!

Don't hint - design one and get it made up! They could then be offered for sale to Society members! :D

I'd be rich! If only I could draw and if only I could make badges :D
Maybe I will give it a go though.

We did have Society badges, first a white one and then a red one.

The badges were in the shape of the Society logo, the coloured backgrounds are just there to make it easier to see them.

I sold them for 50p, but the last one I saw for sale went for £30 on ebay! :lol:

I still have a white Society badge, Tony. :D I'm not sure how long I've had it, but it must be a number of years.

That looks like an interesting badge, Ming. :D Unlike the two in the pictures posted by Tony yesterday, I don't recall ever seeing your badge. How long ago was it issued by the Society? I think I've had my white enamel badge for around 13 years.

I hope your exams are going well for you and not causing you too much stress.

Those badges were kindly sent to me by Paulo and we sold them for 50p at the Society stall at the 2007 EB Day.

You are absolutely right about the white badge Eddie, as I sold out of them about 13 years ago!

Although owning a FF badge as a kid, I was never that keen on badges. I think I saw the scout/guide badges as a kind of statement - look at me, I can do first aid/tie knots/make tea/help old people to cross the road (whether or not they want to cross the road)/pluck chickens..........what a shame they didn't wear an "I'm a smarmy git" badge.

My profession is badge/epaulette crazy. Personally, I wear the bare minimum. "By your actions, shall they know what you do" is my motto!

Incidentally, the word Impatient says I'm Patient...now there's a contradiction! :D
