How things have changed

I wonder if the use of plastic for plaques has anything to do with it, do we need more plastic? I have a little collection, having attended a few rallies but I'm happy to forego anything that increases plastic usage. Maybe someone could come up with a more eco friendly memento? 

How about cloth badges that could be sewn onto a flag or something? 

I remember when my parents ran rallies, one could choose to order plaques on your rally slip. Point up or down to fit your plaque board. The original ones were acetate which yellowed and curled up over time. Plastic was introduced later. 

There was a rally the morning we left Exeter Racecourse. OH was puzzled what folks were queuing for, up by the reception hut. But then I saw the flag on the pitch opposite, looks like folks were signing in, or whatever happens. Looked well attended, and the weather was nice. Everyone appeared happy just to be out and having a good time.

Re the little plastic plaques....we popped into our local dealers for something, they had quite a nice looking second hand van in there, so we asked to look around. Got the usual dealer spiel about “little used, hardly rolled a wheel” His face was a picture when I opened the wardrobe door to reveal dozens of the little green plaques stuck onto the door🤣 We walked away, it had been well used, and not particularly well looked after. Probably still there.....😂

Didnt you used to be able to get pennants as well🤔 Sure I have seen some of these in old caravans, or did I dream it....

They  could have been collected using several vans. My collection was acquired using 4 vans.

peedee.

Unless I'm sadly mistaken pennants were/are the C&CC version of plaques.

The Caravan Club had its own pennant plus each centre had an individual one. The national and big holiday rallies had commemorative owns too.

Miniature versions could be purchased and mounted on little pennant mast's on the front of your van or hung in the window.

I really don't know why sales people give out so much BS, as if you find out a sales person has lied or if there is a problem with a product which you buy (when you have been assured that there is no problem), you are unlikely to go back to that shop or dealer. Personally, I loathe being shown around or pestered if I am looking at something which I am considering buying and would much prefer to be left on my own. If I am interested or do have queries or questions then I will go and find a salesperson to talk to.

Might have been Peedee, but these were superglued on inside, doubt you could have got them off. 

Thanks for info on pennants. 👍
