We’ve now stopped taking orders for free badges because we have officially run out of them in today’s lunge at the pile of membership applications we’ve not had a moment to deal with in the last few months. If you asked for your badge before 4pm today, then it’s in the post, winging its way your way.

Apologies to everyone who has been waiting for a badge – the Royal Mail website has been royally borked in one way or another for some time now and spending an hour to process a batch of badge mailings, only to find the website in apology mode and all the work and fiddling about wasted is disheartening to say the least. We’ve changed to a much simpler system now and the next few hours we get free, we’ll get rid of the backlog. Thanks for your patience.

The website’s been a bit quiet also and this is subject to the same mismatch of time and aspiration that everyone in the world feels at one time or another. We’re hoping to liven things back up again soon. Meanwhile, if you have a snippet of landscape news you’d like to share, by all means drop us a line through the contact page.

A Happy New Year to all British Landscape Club members, but we’re also celebrating our first birthday as we opened the site on the 1st January last year. We’ve quickly grown to several hundred members, but there’s always room for more and we even still have a couple of hundred of our lovely square ‘founder members’ badges that we’ll happily send anywhere in the UK. To get one click here and send us your details.



In other New Year news, Amazon and The Book Depository are currently offering The Lie of the Land for under half-price as part of their seasonal sales.

We’re delighted to let you know that the first raft of members’ packs, including the badges, are now on their way to BLC members up and down the country. If you haven’t yet given us your details, why don’t you do it now in time for our next mail-out early next week.

Non-members can now join without going through the palaver of subscribing to the members’ newsletter re:view. Just click on Members’ area above and send us your details direct.

Members: We’ve just taken delivery of our lovely “Founding Member” badges which were, apparently, held up in some way by an unpronounceable Icelandic volcano. The irony of the business of the Landscape Club being held back momentarily by the actions of the landscape is not lost on us.

We only have a few hundred of these special “Founding Member” badges and there will be no more printed so if you haven’t already done so, send us your details to get your hands on one. Fill in the Members’ Area form and we’ll put one in the post to you for nothing, along with an exquisitely designed sample chapter from the BLC forthcoming manual, The Lie of the Land.

Non-members: You have to be a member of the British Landscape Club to get a member’s badge, any other way - we think you’ll agree - is madness. Membership - like the badge - is completely free and only requires that you sign-up for our occasional newsletter re:view. All we ever do is send you a link to where you may find it and we never, ever give, sell or otherwise divulge your email address or any other personal details to anyone.

Members: We’re expecting delivery of a few hundred of these lovely badges in the next week or so. If you haven’t sent us your details to get hold of one then fill in the Members’ Area form and we’ll put one in the post to you for free as soon as we get them.
