NO DON’T be embarrassed about the length of time you’ve been taking the paper. We think it’s something to shout about and accordingly, we are presenting attractive badges to readers of long standing. Designed in the shape of a rosette, they are coloured blue with “25 years” embossed in the centre, or red with “50 years”.

If you’re entitled to claim one, please do so by writing to Pamela Roberts at OUR DOGS.
