Catfish Badge

Post by Martin S »

Found this at the bottom of my bits and pieces box. I used to work with Gina Sandford and knew Mike as well as this came from them many many moons ago!

So, even the pins hide? And people wonder why our catfish tanks look empty. :))

Yes it’s metal, brass coloured, and I think painted. There was, if I remember correctly, a set but I can’t remember which others were included.

That is really cool. I had no idea you knew the Sandfords. They disappeared off the scene around the time I started but obviously catfish legends. Never met them, much to my regret.

This is the official badge of the CAGB from the 1980s I think. @Coryman will know, he drew most of them and also the most recent one is
Corydoras fulleri
... The CSG still produces badges each year started by this CAGB tradition - if anyone wants to buy any they can be had via the CSG.

I'd buy a Red Tail Catfish badge (or ten) if one exists?

They do exist. @corywally could advise on how to buy. Don’t want to show off, but I also have red tail catfish mardi gras beads. :-) \:d/

Thanks Jools and yes, Gina sometimes worked at the same aquatic retail outlet as me, and Mike would come in from time to time. I had a feeling the badge was related to something, and now you mention CAGB, that's the one! I was a member I'm sure and had the 'magazines', but think they must have got lost in a house move many years back.

Regards
Martin
