· Club Auction

We will try to have the lots displayed by 7.l5pm and start the auction at 8pm in order to be completed by l0pm. Please give the committee members time to put out the lots before charging in!

All members will be given a bid number, you must sign in to be assigned a bid number. Please pick up your paddle bid card prior to the start of the auction. The auction commission charge will be 10% of the hammer price.

Finally, while a few lots have been graded it is still up to prospective purchasers to verify the grading description is to their satisfaction prior to bidding. There will be no returns other than postal lots or coins that are subsequently shown not to be genuine. Dealer's tables will not be allowed until after the auction and only if time permits.

Notices

We will be running the annual Skittles evening in May this year – slightly later than normal due to a combination of a late Easter, and the Royal Wedding! The date will be 7^th May. Please speak to one of the committee to express your interest.

January Meeting

This meeting was devoted to short talks by members and to award the Mark Myhill memorial shield. Five talks were given, by Michael, John, Neil, Tony and Graham.

This concluded the talks for the evening, and the twenty-three members present were asked to vote for their favourite of the high calibre of talks given. The result of this was that John was awarded the Marc Myhill Memorial Trophy for his talk on Silver Coins and Silver Mines. Congratulations John!
