I am currently having enamel badges made for the founding centurions of [sotonians.com](http://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. _Poll ([view on site](https://www.sotonians.com/t/giving-is-saintly/826/1))_ * * * ---

I’m probably still going to hell, as long as they let me in with these trainers on. ---

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? 😆 ---

well, I want nothing to do with any of this. You lot can wear your shoddily produced badges and prick yourselves as much as you like. Lots of pricks. ---

I’ll probably turn up at the pub just as the badge is making its way back home in Gay Boot’s pocket. Nice touch GB! ---

Even if you don’t want to claim your badge due to safety reasons, your donation is still welcome Fatso. ---

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. ---

I was paying you a compliment! 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… [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/giving-is-saintly/826.md?page=2)
