Re: Stanely badges
no problem Jeff - I was probably a little harsh in saying that you thought it was an abuse so I apologise if I have offended.
You are right in asking that without a 'base' where does stuff go. In this, and probably every other instance, it usually falls on committee members to look after things. In previous years things like badge collections etc have been given to the club to display in the clubhouse but that won't be happening this time around as things go missing. I was informed a couple of nights ago that only a few years ago there was a badge collection in the clubhouse with numerous pre 62 badges in it. Now there are only 3 badges pre 62 that I am aware of (anymore please let me know - if only for 'knowledges' sake) but that particular collection went missing during one of the many renovations over the years. The OSC has also, through various people, donated picture collections, but they get taken down for whatever reason and are not stored properly and then become useless. Only last year we needed some pictures for the Crown but only the 10 or so that are up now were any good - out of a choice of around 30.
At some point next season the OSC will have to decide what to do with the various assets that we will have gained. Do we sell them? I know that Bagpuss would like at least one of the badgesbut what if he doesn't want to pay what we ask of it? do we put it up for auction and risk it going to a 'non-Stanley' collector? or do we sell it for under the going rate because it is to one of our own? Most of the programmes we have bought will be neither here nor there value wise and are only really of any value as part of a wider collection. Probably not worth selling and trying to complete whatever collection they are?
Anyway, thats something to decide on at a later date with a few more peoples input.
