The Dorset Club show is well underway planning wise and looks like plenty Of Stall holders and people plan to come and take part. Held in one of the prettiest venues in the country. Contact Via this re any questions
Just a quick post to let all know that we shall be holding our next club meeting at the Snug Christchurch upstairs room, first Thursday of the month. First meeting this coming Thursday 2nd Sept. Seb has kindly offered the meeting place as Kinson Community centre is still not open and the evenings are now starting to draw in making it not practical to meet at Ringwood carpark. There is parking at the Priory Carpark and some of the side streets. Hope to see you there 7pm onwards. Nice ales on tap and cosy venue to talk bottles.
In the light of recent Covid announcements BBR have moved their Auction and I understand are planning a ‘small’ stalled event. Best to look at BBR’S website for news and/or contact Alan direct.
Hi all after an easing of lockdown. A few organisers are starting to plan and put on bottle shows in the UK once more. A few enquiries haw come in to the website/Blog so I thought it would be best to answer in this post.
The Show put on at by the Oxford boys at Haddenham was a resounding success by all accounts and feedback very positive. Well done Gary and Crew. Sadly despite withdraw symptoms I was unable to attend AHH! Plenty off fresh goddies finding new homes.
The dates I have so far are as follows :-
August 22nd Exeter
September 5th Minstead Show Our Dorset club Show
Nov 21st Alton Club Show
Nov 27th Kidlington Oxford club.
If there are any others please let us know
