Posts on this topic are interesting and informative ------ but who has the power to say yes or no ?

Personally, Neill, I would suggest an e-mail to the School Office.

I guess that there are two questions:
1 Does the school issue the badges (or if not have any in stock)
2 Do enough people want them to make it worth having some made, in which case does the museum have any examples that could be copied (my badge, as in the picture above, is not that well made)

I'll have a try ---

It might be nicely appropriate, to collect it on Old Blues Day --- which will be only 64 years late !!

I got my colours... for cricketscoring...

But surely, the idea of the Game is ------ "To score "

(If only in small print !! )

Certainly was when I was a teenager, and after a couple of pints !!

I know women who would shoot you for calling them GIRLS.

An interersting observation Maggie.

As someone who has taken over a lot of the administration for Dorking LADIES FC, it is amazing to hear the two follwing shouts from the pitch.

When the skipper is gee-ing the team up................ "Come on GIRLS !!"

When a player is about to be tackled/intercepted...... "MAN on !!" Why not "Woman on !!" or "Girl On !!"

Women can call themselves girls, you have a "girls night out" however old you are.

Thames Valley Police are on Facebook and one of the posts the other day said how well the "boys and girls" of the Force had done at something or other!

Probably because they ACTUALLY found their way OUT of the police station to ACTUALLY do some police work !

Not quite the point I was trying to make.

Perhaps the persons who would "Shoot me, for calling them Girls" ---------

I might not wish to bestow the sobriquet ---- !!!

Sorry - no news on where to obtain repro School Colours. Tried the School office but nobody there can help.

Andrew, do you still have yours - maybe I can get a badge maker/wirer to make me a copy ?

Regards to all. Ian

Just a thought --- we might try Margaret Wadman ----?

A different force (and at a seaside resort). According to a local sergeant a fight was expected on the seafront so even all the off-duty coppers arrived in uniform to "enjoy themselves" (I've bowdlerised his words). He was a bit put out because he could not go down there to help sort out the yobs. Obviously they did well! Announced today, another copper did well by removing a citizen from the gene pool; he was alledgedly so stentorian in his comments and actions towards the woman that she died from heart failure.
