Onliest Smeg David Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think the lanyards are wrong. They may look smart but the name/boardroom name you need to see will be sideways on or back to front. A badge is fine - just maybe needs to be better than a stick-on label. Totally agree. And cheaper while still able to look neat and professional. Out of the number of Westies there, how many actually stuck on there name sticker? If a member want a lanyard instead then they buy one as part of merchandising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is possible to get magnetic badges (we have them for work) or clasp type which don't use pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Totally agree. And cheaper while still able to look neat and professional. Out of the number of Westies there, how many actually stuck on there name sticker? If a member want a lanyard instead then they buy one as part of merchandising We will definitely consider this as well as magnetic ones, and all options. I'm looking at this now when the ideas are still fresh in your minds and we have lots of time to do some research, and get your opinion on preferred options, but we're not going to purchase these until next year (if we do at all). How many? Didn't make a precise count, but well into three figures - the table was rammed on Sunday with people trying to get them. One of the reasons I'm looking at alternatives is that some people wanted another sticker if they were there both days. It was very pleasing and the idea a great success (again, it wasn't my idea, obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhutch Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The magnetic ones work unless through thick material, but I would be happy with pin through, unless it was raining and I had a waterproof on. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 As an aside - I do think a good idea to have a member badge, even if generated automatically and we print ourselves to save posting etc. I assume that all Westfields parked on the club stand were owned by members or new joiners -- but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel We ditched magnetic ones at work because there not the strongest magnets and peeps kept losing them plus, you're advised not to wear one if you've a pacemaker .. does that affect anyone I wonder!

Mooch Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is possible to get magnetic badges (we have them for work) or clasp type which don't use pins. I brought one with me to the show. My badge lasted both days as a result, and I could take it off when not needed. Perfick, Rodney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
