GN badge?

Wonderful - ping pong balls - the very thing. Could represent anything but only the select few would understand the meaning. We would give the masons a run for their money with that.

Thanks Carol

Ariadne ...you tinker-boots! [an expression of affection in our household]

Ariadne whatever floats your boat....

Ariadne! In your room to think about what you just said...tut..tut

Yeah, good idea!

Two tiny ping pong balls? (Tee-Hee!)

The total is now £110 plus £22.50 from gift aid. Not bad, eh?

I quite like the idea of a little badge but I have an image of hordes of women wearing badges in cities and towns throughout the land (world) who would be happy to give me directions when I get lost. Perhaps I've got the wrong idea entirely but would be happy to give directions round my village although it is hard to get lost here.

ohh yes oh you have just reminded me I havn't made my donation...has anyone got the link please (if there is a link)? thnakyou

I quite like the idea,but then I talk to everyone anyway.

I think its a good idea and surely if one was wearing one it would, in my mind, signify they were happy to say hello to fellow GNs, otherwise why wear it?

I would just give a friendly smile, not interested in secret societies. My mum always wore things like her Mothers Union badge with pride and for me it was just like someone displaying an interest or belief. I wore my CND badges with pride and don't remember anyone commenting or trying to engage me in discussion, but they did look at them.

Not sure about this. If you spotted someone wearing the badge would you assume you'd be welcome to approach her? Or would it simply invite a friendly smile? Seems a bit 'secret society' I think, so consequently it would be 'no thanks' from me.

I love the idea of a badge!

Maybe... I still like the anonymity of GN, though I have put my picture on my profile, so why shouldn't we have a little badge. A 'significant' handshake perhaps...

This is a lovely idea...a small, discreet badge would be great.

Yes, we have mentioned it before and I think it would be great. A small lapel badge would be great.

No thank you.

Yes, we've had a little discussion about this before and quite a few Gransnetters said they would like to have one, me inclued.
