Hi Sue

Welcome to the forums. :D

I've never heard of an Enid Blyton Society badge (although I've only been a member about 4 months!).

Unfortunately I had to miss the EB day. so don't know if there were any on sale. I know there were badges made so that people could recognise each other (ie becuase they had previously only communicated via the forum), but that's about it. :roll:

Anyhow I'm sure someone will soon give you a more authoritative answer!

Hello and welcome!

The badges on sale at this year's Day, were original Famous Five Club badges and some other Blyton related badges that were issued in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Check out eBay, there are usually badges on offer there.

Hi Sue, yes I do like the films, especially the earlier ones. However, my username is unconnected to our great fictional hero.

http://www.swindonweb.com/life/lifemoon0.htm will give you info on my tag!

Society Badges

Post by Tony Summerfield »

There have been three Society badges:-

We started with the white one back in 1995 when we first opened for business. When these sold out we had some red ones done. Both are now sold out and I have seen them on ebay fetching quite high prices! The large one below is a pin badge, similar in style and size to the last of the Famous Five badges. I was sent a few of these shortly before this year's Society Day and I sold them for a nominal sum at the Day. If this is something that you would like to see available in the shop I am sure that our Portuguese member who sent them to me could probably provide some more.

Best wishes
Tony

You silly girl, you are supposed to take them off before you put clothes into a washing machine - I don't imagine they would do too well in the tumble dryer either :roll: :roll: :roll:

Always check where you put the badge first then you jam roll.
