I am currently having enamel badges made for the founding centurions of sotonians.com, due to be completed in approx 4 weeks…
There is no charge for the badges but if you would like to make a charitable donation your generosity will be much appreciated.
Badges can be collected at drinks meet ups throughout the season or posted out.
I will attach a poll to decide which charity we select (3 of my preferred charities) and suggest that we fund raise for the chosen charity for the duration of season 2015/16.
All suggestions for fundraising welcome.
All other suggestions for selected charities welcome (pap, can you add to the poll as necessary?)
I will set up a Just Giving page when the charity has been selected.
Many Thanks.

I hope you have filled in risk assessments for the badges. The pins on then can be very dangerous and if you are responsible for injuring sotonians then I think pap should take action (banning)
I shall be taking no such action. I’ve been a huge fan of the badge idea from the start, not least because it will allow people to identify each other at pub meets without everyone looking for a miniature Mr It.
Do I smell fear, Lone Wolf? Is the badge thing a step too far, too much inclusion in the pack?
I’ve heard they’re fucking massive, like dinner plates. Ur all gonna look a right bunch of twats at the Farmhouse, wearing ur fucking massive sotonians badges
I downied you, Lou for saying I’m being a dick. I actually found that comment quite hurtful. I’m just trying to look out for people. I tell you what, I’ll wear a badge and donate if the charity is changed to “Supporting Stabbed Sotonians”, a newly registered charity I have launched in the face of this new threat.
But OK, not a problem to set up your new charity, we’ll just need to know a few details to register you, such as, what was your username on The Other Place…
