I hsave no immediate plans to attend any Mudcat function, but would sorta like to show up one of these years at the Getaway or some such event, and I am a great believer in name badges for any and all coventions, reunions, etc., because I have a very bad memory for names, especially when meeting multiple new people (or matching multiple new faces with familiar names).

Is this is UK-only (or UK-mostly) project? Or are western-hemisphere Mudcatters using these badges when attending events as well?

If y'all are thinking of giving up the badge business, perhaps you could allow badge production to continue on a do-it-yourself-basis by posting a PDF or Word document or something that peopole could print out for themselves. (PDF would not allow the user to type in his/her own name, but the person could handwrite/handprint the name on a printout. An MSWord document might be prefereable becasue users could easily type in a name before printing.

There are templates available for standard Avery name-badge forms, eight to a page if I'm not mistaken...
