This issue or the one proceeding it had a competition to design a junkyard theme cover and I was my age group winner of that. Somewhere I probably still have a winner certificate and the prize which was a secret puffin diary thing. I also have my regular and fIve year black badge. I keep reading online the black badges were for four years but I'm pretty sure they were for five. I have a lot of puffin club memorabilia stashed away including a fat puffin mug. I was a fanatical member as a child and read many wonderful books as a result.
The black badge really was for Four year members - I posted the card it was pinned on in February 2011. Time plays tricks on us all!
