Was having a clear out the other day and came across this. Not sure when this is from or why I have it, maybe a member of staff will remember?

    That's very interesting @Skive and I find it very cool that TheMix was originally called TheSite during the early 2000's. Maybe we could bring back those bands even maybe do a Mix anniversary

    I've been kicking around for coming on a decade and I've never seen one of those! @Skive is it a wrist band? Any other writing or messaging on it?
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    It is a wrist band. I’ve got a couple of them actually. I imagine I received them as a prize for post of the week or something similar.

    Charity wrist bands were really big in the mid 2000s and almost became fashionable. I imagine they are from that sort of time.

    The only other information is a registered charity number: 1048995

    Edited to add this.

    2005 by the looks of it. Not a bad guess.

    Wow the site looks so so different to what it is today @Skive I love the old school vibe of it a lot too. Its amazing to think they even had a discussion board just for festivals and music!.

    How interesting and nostalgic to see how the boards looked so many years ago - plus its so cool that you have the wristband from TheSite - a little piece of history :3
