Another female collector...streuth!
 

Hello all,

Well I decided to come out from under my collecting rock after having had a lovely few hours today at Yate.

I've been collecting for several years now focusing primarily upon cap badges from:

The Norfolks
The Lincolns
The Suffolks
The Beds & Herts
The Leicesters
The Essex
The Northants

In more recent years I have been wandering into other 'stuff' as territorial and volunteer battalions are a tad pricey.

To those whom I met today it was a pleasure, a lovely friendly bunch of chaps :-)

Welcome to the Forum Rachel. Your account is active and open for posts.

Thanks Bill :-)

welcome pixie, great regiments to collect, glad you have found us.:)

Wecome to the Forum Rachel you will find lots of help and information on your collection, all the best billy

Hello Rachael,

Welcome to the forum and it was nice to meet you today at Yate.

Jack

Thanks Jack :-)

Shwmae 41st diolch yn fawr. Oeddet ti 'na ar Yate y prynhawn 'ma?

Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regts
 

Rachael,

Welcome to the forum, you seem to like Regiments that are from the East of England and those that were included into the East Anglian/Royal Anglian units, but you have not included the Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regts, I know two are Territorial, but not too expensive, is there a reason why you have not included these?

G'day Rachael
Your title to the thread say's it all :p good to see a new member and welcome.

Happy collecting.

Hello.
I spent all day at Yate. Was about no. 20 in the Queue at 09.30 when it opened. Spoke to various Forum members. You can't miss me, mid-50's, glasses like milk bottle bottoms, a ginger moustache going grey, a bergan (rucksack) permamently attached to my back, a craving for alcohol that was only sated by hitting the Wetherspoons pub, on first name terms with most dealers, a nasty limp, hands like claws - shall I just shut up now?
You're welcome to PM me and discuss badges, more badges, pubs, badges, pubs and did I mention badges?

Hi Rachael,

A heartfelt 'welcome', always lovely to have another lady join the group.

Cheerio,

Roy.

Hi Rachael, If I had known you were at Yate I would have said hello. You may have seen me wandering around-MTP top with my engr9266 shoulder titles, forum badge & TRF.
Any way welcome.
Jerry.

Hi Rachael

They're a good bunch here, your in great company :)
