GBACC Meeting April 25th 2016
Yes, our third public holiday meeting of 2016!
Anyway, we will be there (Upstairs, Barwon River Pavilion. under the James Harrison Bridge, near corner Barrabool Road & High Street, Belmont). 7.30 pm onwards for an 8pm meeting start.
Bring along your latest finds and any display item or items you want to talk about and educate us (those of us who may not know much about what you collect).
Fees and Enewsletter
Those who have paid promptly, thank-you. Everyone else, save me reminding you please. Also let us know if you are happy to receive your bi-monthly newsletter by email.
Latest Finds
Just a clarification on latest finds and displays. We want you to bring both along!
A “latest find” is something you have found, purchased, swapped or acquired in the past 90 days or so.
Why 90 days? In case you miss a meeting or two, have too much to bring along that month (what a great problem that would be!) or strike the November BBQ, December, January gap.
These are the ones that can earn votes for “Finder of the year” and “Find of the Year” awards and should be marked with a red “latest find” label provided.
Displays
Something you have had in your collection but want to bring along to talk to the rest of us inquisitive and willing members about. A latest find will often prompt a display by adding to a set or series you have been building up.
May 28 Swap & Sell and Market day 7 Dean St 8am to 3pm
This is for collectables, bottles and general market stuff.
If you have places to hand out or display flyers get in touch and we can email you some to print.
General market details are here – http://www.geelongbottleandcollectables.club/?page_id=41
We need some more stall holders and helpers on the day. And please spread the word via posters in your local shop and social media. All members are welcome to an ozbottleforum and friends BBQ at Hany and David’s house after we pack up.
Social media and new website
Yes, GBACC has a Facebook page and a new website! Thanks to David Bruce, GBACC member and partner in ABCR auctions.
ABCR auctions has very generously sponsored our website, plus hours of David’s time in setting it all up and admin. Thanks mate!
