    GBACC Presidents Report March/April 2015

    Are you excited by the thought that Geelong will host it’s first ever Australian National Bottle and Collectables show? I am!
    Put October 21, 22, 23, 2016 firmly in the diary, calendar or electronic device. Make sure you can block out some time and be there to enjoy, help and participate.

    Thank you for the resounding support for running the National.

    I am getting some major details locked in and will “go public” with the announcement very soon to ABCR magazine and The Australian Bottle Forum so we can start promoting from the Perth National in July.
    We may get a National sub committee going with both members and non members. We need the extra whether they attend meetings or not.

    Our AGM was a great night with 15 or so members there, great supper, latest finds and friendship in the hobby.

    Huge thanks again to Bob for his 20 years as treasurer. Say that slowly…. 20…. years.

    Allan has stepped up to be Treasurer. Thanks Allan, though he has done this on a “I will if no one else will” basis. We really need to get our heads around succession planning and getting some younger members involved in running the club. Not saying you are too old Allan!

    The rest of the Committee is pretty much the same but small. Noel as V.President. Cam, Newsletter Editor AND Secretary, with still room for extra Committee member/s and a regular supper person needed plus it would be great to get a website administrator.

    Bus trip being planned but getting a date is tricky. Fund raising is something we will be calling for help and participation on.

    eBay news.

    An interesting lot the last two months.
    Scarce Hoopers Vinegar works Jar $26; Geelong bottle opener $4; Volum Brewery crown seal opener $20; Hearnes labelled Cures No 7, $5, No3 $17; Chas Cole GB chipped, $37; nicer one $153; Union half pint milk cheap at $10; Corio 5 star Whisky tie bar $25.

    R Parker token no sale $45; Grammar School Highton sign $500; 1917 Gala day badge $15; Troops in Moorabool St post card $31; Peace 1919 badge no sale $15.

    There are some reasonable Geelong bottles in next group of auctions from ABCR, Nick Rowland and R and J Roycroft. It will be interesting to see what they make.
