Important update 14th July 2021

Recently NZCF ordered new stocks of CHESS BADGES & CERTIFICATES. This is because the sales of chess badges and certificates has risen significantly since COVID-19 started.

This is the first time in a very long time we have had to reorder supplies and, no surprise, the cost has gone up significantly! In order to keep the current low price of $6.00 for each badge/certificate combination we have changed from our current metal badge to a plastic badge as the unit cost is cheaper.

Our PAWN BADGES will be the first plastic badges to be sold and the other badges will progressively change from metal to plastic as current stocks are exhausted. There is no change to the Certificates. NZCF is happy we have not been required to increase the price of our popular badges for the foreseeable future. However, with the uncertainty of supply and increasing costs we cannot guarantee the price will not increase in the future.
