2015

Our 2015 meeting saw another fabulous day, with more of the Indian Summer weather that this meeting tends to enjoy! The day starts early and the hall was opened once again at 8.p.m. and dealing and swapping soon got underway from the large stock of brasses that were on offer here.

The Ipsden Meet

 

The Ipsden Meet The theme of the competition this year was Vestry brasses which was won by the entry left, which was a cart saddle and brasses to the London Borough of Newham.

The talk this year was given by Colin Doy on military harness brasses, which was very interesting indeed, and was illustrated profusely with examples (some of which can be seen below) brought along on the day.

As with every other year, the day goes by all too soon, and all that remains is to thank everyone for coming, and to those who make the day such an enjoyable event.
