February Meeting

Fortunately, this year, the weather gods were kind to us, and we did not have to repeat last year’s unprecedented cancellation! As such, 25 members were able to attend. Generous vendor contributions and some competitive bidding meant that the 174 lots realised a total of £976.05, giving a commission to the club funds of £134.77. The high priced lots included:

• Lot 143 – Lindner Coin Case with 8 trays - £78
• Lot 81 – 1845 Crown - £46
• Lot 94 – 1825 Farthing - £45

A successful sale for the Club (thanks in part to a number of lots donated for club funds), for the vendors and for the buyers.

Skittles evening

The Skittles evening will take place at the Red Lion at Theale on 24th April at 7pm, and places are filling fast! Please sign up at the March meeting if you would like to attend. The cost will be £15 per head to include a hot buffet supper.
