On February 4, Council approved the new round badge given out at the AGM for use as an alternative to our traditional and historic Maple Leaf badge. Mike Cvetanovic has the new badge in stock now - please note the new badge has a black border, not a gold border as distributed at the AGM - the gold border badges will become collectors items in years to come, only 200 were produced, so if you have one, look after it!
