**********10th Anniversary************
2012 Meeting. This year marked the 10th Anniversary of this meeting and once again, members travelled from near and far to mark a very special day. Once again, the day was blessed with superb, early May weather, and early-birds began swapping and dealing from car-boots until the hall opened up at nine. Now that we have our new, updated and improved website up and running, this means that I can now include larger images which give a much better impression of the day so, enjoy!
Once again centre stage was taken by Mark Roberts' (centre) fabulous collection who was ably assisted by Terry Williams (in the hat) and admired by many. Apart from a number of fine displays, there were plenty on sale, including a fine selection from Geff Geden, seen here (below) having a final check to see that all is present and correct!
Below: Another fine display from a member showing modern leather work and awards that have been won in recent years.
Below: More fine brasses on display this time from the collection of Ralph Chapman from Devon.
Below; Alec Hopkinson from Chesterfield with his fine display, assisted by his daughter and granddaughter; A fine day out for all the family!
Below; a very nice little lot here (but sadly not for sale) from the collection of Joe Evans in Cornwall.
Below; organiser Stan Benton and another very fine selection of brasses for sale.
Below; Jim Speed who with his wife Judy, brought up the collection of K.B. Brasses dedicated to the memory of Ron Baldwin.
Below, a great day, and a busy scene as was most of the day, so hats off once again to organiser Stan Benton and all those who attended to make this day such a memorable one. lets hope we can have another ten years!!!
