We meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 2.30pm.
Please note there will be no meeting in June.

Our regular speaker is David Palmer, a freelance auctioneer and regular guest on programmes such as 'Flog-It' and 'Bargain Hunt', famous for his colourful waistcoats. He regales us with tales of his monthly auctions and markets and brings us artefacts to guess whether they are originals, fakes or reproductions and their prices.

Several items brought in by David and his wife:

brass student candlestick
silhouette picture
a pair of 17thC wooden
carved Dutch figures
a painted silhouette
worth £40-£60
a saucy figurine
