Right I have a wall of the bloody things, and as they do not have the year on them I have marked mine with pen on the backs many years ago... but I might have them all muddled up.

Whos in the know, whos memory still functions... what colour outer rim and badge center matches the correct year?

I do know that the:
round badge is from the 80's
ten sides is from the 90's
sprocket shaped from 2000

Hi Dangerous,
I know this is a really long shot, but see you have a wall of badges & just wondering if you would consider selling the 1990 10th anniversary one? It has special meaning to me & unfortunately I lost it while attending the last rally recently. I have a "I survived the night" badge from the last (40th) & final rally I could swap if interested??

Cheers

FieryHow did you get the 40th "I survived the night" badge? Where were they being handed out cos I never saw any thing of that nature.
