Hi everyone, I am Steve Baguley, a CWU member, and member of the TUBCS.

The Trade Union Badge Collectors Society was founded in 1981 by a small group of Union members, and we are still going strong, celebrating our 40thAnniversary this year.

It is not just about collecting badges, history tells us that it is much more, that is why we strive to promote a wider appreciation of Trade Union badges, publish newsletters and other publications, and share information.
