I've been thinking about this for a while and I guess I was hoping we could have got a UK meet up organised first before we get too 'regional' about it. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing some of those US regions are pretty big compared to the UK and have a lot more members. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the regions are wrong for the UK and I appreciate the effort @Kevigizmo put into the designs - they look great, I just haven't felt it a priority. Again just my feeling on this and hopefully as we do all meet up at shows etc we will attract more members and the question might become more pressing.

To the question of whether we need an Ambassador for the UK, sounds like a great idea if that means we can get a bit more coordinated. We should probably get some of these shows we've talked about like Adventure Overland in the forum calendar and organise a meeting point. Maybe the beer tent at a certain time on the Saturday night? ... This is probably a conversation for our region so I will copy it there.

cheers @Tim
This is why the UK users need to chat about this in more detail going forward as @Roger352 has mentioned,

Lol, Tim - I think the UK could actually fit in some of the Regions in the US - the "Island" is only small in comparison to the behemoth that is the US continent hehe

I think your right looking at the map we have a few members and the same number as forum members but not OB members. We need to get out and organise ourselves can we get club member for shows like your local Landrover clubs etc. Maybe get some promotional items from OB to set up a display at the LRO shows and the overland show later in the year. Just my two pennies worth.

I suggested a few fliers or something for the Land Rover day earlier this month in Cornwall but nothing came through. There were seveal hundred attendees. Potentially there could have been a handful of new OB members. I looked into having business type cards made but there wasn't enough lead time before the event.

Maybe if OB HQ could send us all a template we all could print some cards and give out when we meet other 4x4 owners.

I suspect this would be a task for the Ambassador when they choose one

But it would be a nice idea if members who wanted the template to help advertise and "spread the word"

Might be an idea to shift this thread into its own one as it's kinda hijacked this one (as it's slightly off topic)

Do I wait for a while to see if anything else appears over the next day or so or submit another order? I hate making decisions.:tonguewink:

Thinking about the commercial aspect of these badges I still feel that a single badge covering the whole of the UK would be the way to go. I would even say that would be the same for every country outside of the US with the possible exception of Canada.
