Change of IUNVA Cap Badge

IUNVA are going to switch to a metal badge on their berets, following on from complaints that the cloth badge at €15 was on the high side, for members who are in need of changing their berets on a regular basis, following constant use.

The New badge will cost around €7.50 and will be decided on which shape we purchase at the next Delegate meeting.

Please let us know, which shape you would prefer.
