I missed getting one last year - don't know how. I did see a few people wearing them - but only when I was standing right next to them, cos they were ever so titchy...
Now I know one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but could the new design risk going a size or two up?  :)

Nah, this size is the size all us cool kids go for. Big badges are for fogies...  ;)

I can sort you one of these though...

Titchy badges - yes.  Larger ones this year please, my eyesight isn't as good as it once was.

What about upping the cost of the badges slightly , you take your cut for the cost of making them Phil, and the rest goes as a donation to the LAF to aid in admin costs for this great site? Bad idea?

Is this badge Salute '14 specific or is it a general LAF badge?

If the latter, I would like to get some for OZ-LAF members (those in Australia) if possible.

Failing that, how do we go about it? There were several OZ-LAF floating around at Cancon this year and it would have been nice to have an identifier.

Good idea. Given the amount of money most of us spend at Salute, a few quid on a badge to support this forum shouldn't be a problem :)

Titchy badges - yes.  Larger ones this year please, my eyesight isn't as good as it once was.

Can't do it without buying another die for the machine I have access to, and all the gubbins for bigger badges, which is around £100 before a single badge is made, this would put the cost of them up to over £2 each given that around 50 sell.

What about upping the cost of the badges slightly , you take your cut for the cost of making them Phil, and the rest goes as a donation to the LAF to aid in admin costs for this great site? Bad idea?

Well this is basically what happens, but the donation goes to LAF as badges so our mainland chums as well as Admin can get their hands on them. I also sneak them into any post I send to a fellow LAFer. I could put the price up but 50p is handy for change, less fiddling. There's not really a margin on them as is, it's more an act of largesse.  :)

It's a general LAF badge but produced for Salute. PM me to sort something out.

I already have a feather in my hat (and I usually have a poppy on the hatband too).

I think we should get LAF waistcoats - extra pockets for dice, measures, glasses (big glasses for Richard), beer money (big pocket for Thunderchicken, small pocket for Malamute?)

Glynis is on a costume degree course with access to fabric printing (and embroidery machines), so it's a real possibility.

What do they feed moles near you to get stripey ones?

Hmm.  A LAF waistcoat would be a nice combination with one of my fez-o-rama Cthulhu fezzes.

Any LAF'ers with badges going to be at GenCon in the states later in the year?

The above is sorted and the antipodean envelope is ready. Anyone who wnated one through the post please pm me and let me know where you live, etc.

For those who wanted bigger badges there is a chance now of getting a few larger ones, if you'd like this option please get in touch.

I'll be posting out the overseas badges on Monday, if you're one of the recipients  and get it before next Saturday please don't post a photo of it before 10.00 on the 12th April - as it's a surprise 2014 design, different from last year's obviously.
