Our theme for Monday 24th July - 'Blue and white'

21/7/2017

Our Collectors group have not met this month due to our change of date but will meet on Monday 24th July at 10.00 am in the U3A room at the Seniors Community Centre. Our theme for this meeting will be ‘blue and white’ or whatever you would like to bring along.

Members were saddened to hear of the death of Jim Casey. Jim attended our last meeting of Collectors and brought along an exquisite figurine of a dairymaid milking a cow. A picture of this was included in the June Newsletter. Jim was a valued member of our group and will be sadly missed

About the Collectors' group

Do you enjoy 'Antiques Roadshow' and 'Bargain Hunt' on TV? Have you a collection or the beginnings of one? ‘Collectors’ is for people who enjoy collecting and seeing the collections of others. Sessions take the form of ‘show and tell’, with participants bringing along an item or a collection to share with others in the group. Items shown last year ranged from the quirky to the beautiful. They may be inherited, be valuable antiques or items purchased from the Op Shop but which you enjoy. It is hoped to have a guest speaker for one session to help us develop skills in identifying and valuing our purchases. Please bring along to the first session one or two of your favourite items and be prepared to ‘show and tell’.
