The February Club newsletter has been out for a couple of weeks. You can read it all here.
Plenty of discussion of our October fair with lots of great ideas put forward to make this a fun weekend for all. Plus reports of a couple of road trips – with one requiring more that just a road! Latest finds, Bunnings BBQ fundraising and more.
One of the features of the 2018 Geelong Collectors Fair will be a display from the Geelong Lego Users Group. The Lego Users Group always manage to create amazing pieces for display and it will be exciting to see what they come up with this year.
You can check it all out at the Geelong Collectors Fair. This Saturday, 6th October, 2018 from 9 am to 4 pm. Basketball Geelong Stadium (AWA Alliance Bank Stadium), 20 Crows Rd, Belmont.
To find out more about the Geelong Lego Users Group check them out online at https://geelonglug.weebly.com or find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/geelonglegousergroup/
Tonight! Is the regular monthly meeting of the Geelong Bottle and Collectables Club and there is plenty to discuss. With the National being a financial success and the sterling efforts of Alan, Paul and the team involved with the Bunnings barbecue days the club finds itself in rude financial health. So now the fun part! Suggestions are needed for how we use our hard earned funds to provide even more value to all members. Please feel free to share any thoughts tonight or at future meetings or just casually mention any ideas you may have to any of the committee.
Meeting January 23rd 2017
From 7.30 pm
Upstairs, Barwon River Pavilion.
under the James Harrison Bridge,
near corner Barrabool Road & High Street, Belmont.
The latest club newsletter has landed and it is a bumper 20 page edition. Editor Cam has really outdone himself this time with a brilliant pictorial presentation of the National Show.
Wishing all members of the Geelong Bottle and Collectables Club a very merry holiday season. Hope Santa finds a special item for you!
We look forward to welcoming all members both old and new to the club in 2017.
It promises to be another great year of collecting!
In the week leading up to the National we have booked the sign on Melbourne Road at Corio. The sign will be lit with a 45th National Bottle and Collectables Show message plus a few details.
If you are around Geelong be sure to mention it or point it out to friends, colleagues or strangers in the street! The best promotion of all is a word of mouth recommendation.
On that front there is going to be a lot to recommend! The entries are flying in from all over the country and overseas. The hall will be packed with swap and sell so if you collect anything at all you won’t want to miss this one.
Now on a Newsstand or at the very least in an email inbox near you is the GBACC July August Newsletter. Unsurprisingly the cover of this edition is devoted to the National Bottle and Collectables Show. This is now shaping up as the biggest National ever. The bookings are coming in at a rapid pace and the level of interest is unprecedented. Entries close on October 14th so if you have been thinking about it now is the time to act!
The feature story this time is a remarkable link between Walt Disney’s most famous character and Geelong. Also a great pictorial spread and report from the Maryborough Antique Bottle Clubs latest (45th!) annual show. The meeting reports include some exceptional latest finds. Plus an update on the giant Chas Cole display planned for the Geelong National – hint if you have ANYTHING from this company we would love to borrow it for this one off spectacular.
And all of this in the best presented Bottle and Collectables club newsletter in Australia. To get yours join today!
We have National Show Posters being distributed around Geelong. These A3 posters for the 2016 National Bottle and Collectables Show are going up in collectables shops all over Geelong and district.
You will find them in Ballarat, Daylesford and Warrnambool soon as well!
If you know somewhere you can put a poster to help promote the show either print the poster from here or we can mail one (or more!) to you, just drop us a line at info@geelongbottleandcollectables.club
