Just wondering if those original coffee shop members are still engaged in the coffee shop
Yes, I am - but not 'engaged' - I've been married to my good wife for nearly thirty years now.

I, too, still have my badge from that event - and I'm now searching through my drawers, so to speak, as I'm sure I still have somewhere the railway security pass issued to me on that day.
That owl (Isambird Kingdom Brownowl) is still a feature of the Coffee Shop forum - indeed, I sort of bumped into him on a fairly recent visit to Melksham. He, by the way, was the cause of some interest to the public as grahame and I trundled him on his platform through a pedestrian precinct to grahame's overnight accommodation.

In that picture, I am standing second from left, facing the camera.
Chris.

Posted in campaigns,
as I could not seem to find a more suitable location
I do recall dashing through the Reading over bridge going back a little while(2008?)
and seeing the early days of coffee shop members(four?) in a stall handing out the coffee leaflets
