Turnbull Crests

The directors and trustees of TCA have adopted a new Turnbull crest.  The new crest pictured here was designed to meet several important objectives.  It reverts from the English motto I Saved the King to the more traditional Audaci Favet Fortuna (Fortune Favors the Bold).  It features a fiercer, more dignified bull than the one with his tongue hanging out in common use by many vendors.  As the use of this official crest spreads, it will increase Turnbull Clan recognition.

Wally Turnbull, the TCA President, is negotiating with several companies for the production of cap badges, label pins, and tie tacks, to be cast in high quality lead-free pewter with a target price around ten dollars each.

Although this is one of our mid-term objectives, TCA does not yet have the resources to stock clan merchandise for resale.  This means that  we need an idea of how many badges members will want before we can commit to a volume order and receive a favorable price.

TCA is not promoting these items as a fund-raising effort.  They will be offered at cost plus shipping and handling for about half the normal retail price.  Please help provide an idea of how many badges and pins to order by indicating how many of each you would be interested in purchasing at approximately $10.00 each.  This is not an order. It is only an estimate to help us plan. We would hope to have the items ready for mailing and distribution by the time of the annual general meeting in September.
