Our first session of Collectors was held in W4 and was very successful. As well as 21 attendees we were pleased to welcome two guests who were visiting Benalla. Most of those who attended brought along one or several items to show us and again we had a large assortment of interesting items and learnt a little of the background of each. Some had researched items on the web and were able to give a short history of when and where they were made. Others had inherited items, or bought them just because they liked them, while some were childhood gifts.
Photos were taken of everything brought along (thank you Bev). Hopefully we will have a slideshow presentation at the end of the year similar to last year which was well received when shown at Collectors and at our February Meet and Mingle.
At our March meeting guest speaker Rupe Cheetham will present some artefacts he collected while working in New Guinea. Members of Collectors are invited to bring along their smallest item and anything else they wish.
