I lost the original #81 on Swan Bank in Congleton, Cheshire some time last year. I received a repacement tub & chassis number from the factory, but at the back of my mind there's another badge #81 out there that will inevitably re-emerge in the fullness of time, and claim to be the original. I really need an HTP from Barry to verify my badge's authenticity as I can imagine myself being turned away from a northern meeting after being told that I was already present! :blush:

Change of ownership notice: #111, originally issued to "fines", is now in my posession...;)

I hope you didn't have to pay him too much :lol:

Well, he's a tough old bugger to bargain with, and it cost me my right leg and left arm, but it was worth it! :smoking:

I would like officially to welcome Rocky2 to the club of TNF badge holders. :wave:

Badge # 201 now resides safely in the Ukraine - our first badge holder from that country.




Barry,

I have the badge # 201, and I don't live in the Ukraine ?

I know what has happened. I will send Rocky 2 the means to change his badge to # 202.

Apologies to both!

With the Revival approaching I am delighted to announce that two more badges have gone to TNF members - both of whom, I believe, will be at Goodwood.

So welcome to the badge club micketyp3 and Dave Williamson.

Sadly, I won't be there this year.

Cor, almost another year gone by and the Revival approaches again. Home circumstances prevent my attendance again this year but badges are available to anyone who wants one.

I recently admitted cpbell and ronmac into the badge club which now has 210 members - though sadly, a couple are no longer with us.

I suppose i did leave the door open for a blindside attack there......... :)

Mr Raine is talking perfect sense with his "idea" as i'm sure a round of Mallory breakfasts would be a better proposition for my wallet than a round of drinks at Goodwood although if i use my Audi pass it would be a really cheap round.... :smoking:

Looking back through this thread it would appear that I haven't actually supplied a badge to anyone for around four years, until today, when I sent two off, one to Germany and one to Kent.

Just as well I still have a bagful!

I think yours has a letter rather than a number Gary, but yes, it is one of the LESSER badges.

I have no access to my spreadsheet at the moment so I cannot confirm this.

Perhaps I can help. Here's the list of badge holders as it stood in 2008, as posted by Barry earlier in this thread:
 

Time to name and shame. Here is the list you hoped you'd never see. It is the current register of TNF badge holders.

If you have one and are not on the list, please let me know!

Tim is a tad out of date. The continuous numbers have now reached 216, with a few odd ones after that, so don't worry if you don't see your name there.

You are on my list.
