From: West Drayton

How long have you been collecting? 1 year

How many pins do you own? 120

I think my best story is my first pin meet in Stratford.

Everyone was very welcoming explaining about the pins they have as well as trading. I also found out a lot of useful information such as where to find pin news and how/where to get a bag for my collection.

I also had the chance to swap a few pins as well, my favourite of which was the Lloyds TSB and Bank of Scotland logo pins both of which have a very limited issue of 2,000 and 500 respectively.

This has opened me up to the world of trading and I look forwards to trading at the Olympics over the summer.
