Hi, Carol Adkinson is correct in saying that our daughter Pamela gained the Lacemakers' Badge in the Girl Guides. It was during the time that Pam was working for this particular badge that the Girl Guide movement decided to up-date their proficiency badge manual and this was one they decided had no interest to the Guides - how wrong they were!
It took a lot of tracking down by our local badge secretary to find this particular badge, an appeal went to all badge secretaries to look to see if they had one, one was finally found - I believe in the Shetland Islands! It is rather an insignificant badge, it looks more like a bell tent than a lace hanky being picked up by the centre of the material! and Pam has still got it, she made a poncho and sewed all her badges onto it and used it when she was a Young Leader in the Girl Guides when they went to camp around the camp fire! Pam had her photograph in the local paper when she gained her Queen's Guide and also her photograph was in the :Lace Guild's 'Lace' - we still have the photograph so will get it up on Roseground's web pages this week for all of you to see her. Pam went on to gain her Queen's Guide award - completing all the requirements only days before her 16th birthday, a long time ago now, her daughter Bethany - who is also a lacemaker age 6 is in Rainbows and her son Matthew is in Cubs. Pam has just told me that there was a Lacemaker's badge on E-Bay which sold for 15.00GBP!
