Re: FAMOUS FIVE CLUB
I should think there were quite a few there. I saw plenty of badges on display. I dont have a badge myself, probably some other members dont have one either.

Hi Sue, you may want to edit your post and possibly email/pm your address to Tony, rather than have it on the open forum?Sue Webster wrote:Tony Summerfield wrote:I thought you might like to see the genuine article, Sue:-

Re: Famous Five Club
You sometimes see those Famous Five badges available second-hand but they can be expensive. A cheaper alternative would be to print off a copy of Sue's avatar, stick it on a circle of stiff cardboard and attach a safety-pin to the back.
Sue once gave a link to a Scottish website which sells badges (see below) and I think they can even make badges to your own design. They will ship abroad if you pay using Paypal:

Re: Famous Five Club
It’s interesting to see the Famous Five badge pictures in red, blue, black, and white. I’ve always thought they were black and white with orange printing – that’s the colour of mine. I’ve looked all over and can’t see any blue on it at all so either it was originally black, white, and orange or else it’s faded somewhat. I notice the one printed on the membership card supplied by Tony, is black, white, and blue with no red.
