Welcome to the Vespa Club of Britain forum, Hosts for Vespa World Days 2012

Can anyone give me some info on this ?
I have many badges from the 50's-60's all are quiet normal but can't find any info on this!

Have found the answer it's the cheshire cats branch 34 of the Vespa Clubs of Britain .

I've also got one of these. Apparently there is meant to be another piece that goes on top to make the badge circular but i can't remember what it was like or said (mine is also missing).

That is the club badge, one of the few non cogs out there.

What went on the top was a seperate rectangular brass bar engraved with the dates of either of the two rallies this club held. It won't make the badge round but was a neat little idea that no one else took up.

Thanks for the further info it's a shame the whole photo does not show!
Looking in my box I think i have found the rectangular brass bar it has
II Chester
19 Vespa Rally 56

on it so it looks like I have solved my mystery with a lot of help from you guys!

Thats better!

The VCB produced a map in the 1950's of Britain and NI detailing all the vespa clubs with their branch numbers (and vespa dealers) for those members who wished to travel and meet up with fellow club members - it's a great wee piece of memorabilia.

Took me a while to get this copied but......



The big numbers are the branches and the smaller icons are the various dealers
