From: Nottingham

How long have you been collecting? 30 years

How many pins do you own? Very few - given them away!

Many years ago, I was a Head of Delegation with the British Handball Association Women's squad in Portugal. In those days we were very naive about swapping gifts etc and at the Civic Reception, we had no gifts to give.

The coach took me to one side and covertly removed my BHA pin badge from my jacket and we gave this as our 'gift' to the hosting mayor - VERY embarrassing.

Today, as I travel as a European official and receive many pins as I visit clubs and nations, I will always look to give them to others when I return.
