race badges
RACING fan Gerald Tinsley has a most unusual hobby. He collects members' metal badges connected with Haydock Park racecourse and owns specimens reaching back almost a century.
In the hope of expanding his collection of 70 badges - issued to ladies, gents and juniors, and with the earliest stamped 1906 - Gerald, from Haresfinch, is now appealing to customers of the column who might have others they are willing to part with. He is particularly interested in pre-1970 Haydock badges.
H ANYONE able to oblige could e-mail Gerald on:
