Long gone I'm afraid.I believe it was organised by Stephen Callendar Grant who at one stage was a major collector but then went off the scene selling many of his badges(which I picked up several).He did produce a few web pages on different aspects of collecting but most of these have disappeared.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of SC-G I know a number of nursing collectors who would like to contact him as he took some of us for "mugs" by taking a fee from us for a society badge that he never actually produced. Unfortunatly I was one of them!

hi, there is a phone number on the web site that is still on the web, doesnt mean to say that it works!.... good luck, why did he stop the society, surely it could have just continued? but with out him, were the donated badges passed onto the rcn? Lizzie
