Apologies if you have tried to email Carol, I put the wrong email address, this one is correct.
For some time I’ve been thinking about ID
badges for members. When we visited Dorchester recently, the majority of people
were wearing different coloured lanyards and badges showing their name: red for
Council members (including their title), yellow for new members, green for
visitors and black for everyone else.
Membership is increasing and quite a
few people (especially the long-standing ones) have said that they don’t
recognise the new faces and are reluctant to talk to them. It would also help my
membership stand-ins and would cut down on the senior moments some of us have
now and again! I’ve already mentioned this to a handful of people and the result
has been positive.
I appreciate that some members would not wish to
participate and, of course, it wouldn’t be obligatory. If you think that it
would be a good idea please email me (please put the word, ‘Badges’ in the
subject line) or you can contact me on 0117 9241338 or 07702 938
