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

November 2011

We had two interesting meetings in September and October. “Pewter” elicited the response “Oh, I’ve nothing to bring”. Result? A table packed with cutlery, mugs, jewellery, mysterious ornaments and medallions.

“Advertising” resulted in metal plaques, flyers, tins, mugs, plates and much more, not to mention all the reminiscences of times past.

We are a happy group and have space for on or two more.

July 2011

Mixture as before. We have all got things we own, love or covet and some of us say it at length! I have room for one or two more but let me know. Specific objects are chosen by the group.I have room for one or two more but let me know. Specific objects are chosen by the group.
