What we do
We are a friendly sociable group of like-minded people who have an interest in yesterday's artifacts. We are all different, share our knowledge, and along the way we learn a little bit more.
Together we choose a subject for the following month and bring along relevant objects (if we have any). In the past we have discussed amongst other things silver and other metals, ceramics, wood, textiles, toys, tools and jewelry.
With an average attendance of about 10 members the group is about full at present- but anyone interested in joining is welcome to get in touch to join the waiting list.
Reports
July 2008:
Raring to go last Tuesday in the month, starting 30th September, ending 25th November, and our first subject is “spoons”. As we don’t know what we have until we start looking I am sure we are in for a treat and anyone who has been dithering about joining us can turn up with a spoon and be part of the group right away.
New members would be welcome.
Dorothy Buxton.
March 2008:
Still having fun with the group. The last meeting was to discuss the collectables we hate - probably bought by the mother-in-law. Those of us who throw things away if we don't like them had a harder time to find something. The scruffiest candelabra in the world was actually admired - so it’s available to the first person to wave £2 in front of me! The next meeting will be about dolls and puppets and we can find room for one or two new members.

November 2007:
Looking forward to a new session – discussing the diverse articles we all manage to find and listening to the stories that go with them. Our last meeting (with nibbles) will be vaguely Christmassy but concentrating on childhood memories. Do you remember what was in your stocking? Yes, it is an Antiques Group!

July 2007:
We will be starting again on 25th September with the theme of "Clocks and Watches". Following meetings will be on 30th October and 27th November, with subjects to be decided by members. Whatever we choose it will be interesting - it always is, and new members will be made welcome.
