CH badges
Does anyone ( Julian ?) know what happened to the Monitresses silver brooches from Hertford ? Were they sold / recylcled / still in use ?
Have replicas ever been made / sold through the CH Club ?
I may ( indeed probably am) daft, but would love to have one to wear...
Anno Domini obviously catching up with me...
cheers

I could probably run one up for you.
Do you want a 'Posture' badge too?

Mary, despite it being Friday, POETS and geberal brain-dead time, this was in fact a serious request - so stop taking the piss !englishangel wrote:I should say so, do you want a green apron to go with it?Euterpe13 wrote:Does anyone ( Julian ?) know what happened to the Monitresses silver brooches from Hertford ?

I remember being told in 1986 by the then Head at the end of the year prize giving that there were only a small stock of them left - and that in future they would only be given to head girls...
I have been watching ebay for one for ages.
Got my posture badge after a term, incurred the wrath of others who wanted one and felt it less hassle to tuck it away.

As far as I know there wasn't a stock, there was a finite number. We didn't keep them, they were handed back when we left and given to the next generation. So I have no idea how there could be a 'limited' stock.Happy wrote:I remember being told in 1986 by the then Head at the end of the year prize giving that there were only a small stock of them left - and that in future they would only be given to head girls...

On a similar subject, how many boys kept their buckles ??
I have mine in a draw upstairs which I purchased second hand at school when the time came. It's silver, yet I've NEVER bothered to check the hall mark for a date. Another little job to do on one of these chilly November evenings, perhaps.

I've still got my broadie buckle.
Re Hertford badges - I think some of them were presented... I seem to recall seeing an Ironmongers Presentees brooch (as opposed to a shield for a housey coat) being presented to someone in my house to keep when she left as the school wanted the shields as standard. Don't know about the monitoresses ones.
BTW - what would have happened if the Math's buckle had been lost. Wasn't that an antique?
