  • October Meeting and November Bus Trip

    Hello Collectors.
    A quick reminder that the next meeting of the Geelong Bottle and Collectables Club is on Monday October 23rd from 7:30 PM. (It’s one of those tricky months with 5 Mondays so don’t come on the 30th!!)

    Bring along your finds and maybe a few things from your collection to tell us about.

    Our bus trip to Camberwell Market, Waverley Antique Bazaar and Richard Goldsworthy’s incredible collection was a huge success. Comments like “mind boggling” “too big to take it all in” “fantastic to see, thankyou…” were heard at Richard’s house.

    Sad if you missed it… BUT you have a chance to be on our next Bus trip to Lake Goldsmith Steam Rally. see Graham Tomkin’s collection and visit Beaufort Big Garage sale shop on the way home.  This trip will be on Saturday November 4th. Leaving club rooms at  7.30 AM. Trip and BBQ are free. It will cost you $15 entry to the steam rally

  • August 2014 Club Bus Trip

    Just a little reminder that once the hustle and bustle of the 2016 National Bottle and Collectables Show is over the club will still have plenty of activities for members to get involved in over the next year. Here’s a short tale of a previous day out.

    Geelong Bottle and Collectables Club August 2014 Bus Trip.

    7.00 AM, sharp! On the 17th the sturdy bus left the Clubrooms and picked up another member on the way to Ballarat market, half full with eager collectors.

    We were all disappointed at how small the once thriving market was. Though most managed to find something to buy! Nothing to do with how bitterly cold a morning it was of course!

    Then off to Ballarat Mill Markets, again a thorough search produced “keepers” for most members. Followed by Main Rd Collectables and a friendly welcome by the owner Cheryl who “loves bottle collectors because you are all walking encyclopedias”.

    A BBQ lunch with Hany’s, now famous, home made hamburgers, a quiet drink and on the bus again to the Newlyn shops and Daylesford Mill Markets.

    Have a look at the Amazing Mill markets website, these are a must visit for every collector.

    All this was totally free for club members, everyone who went will tell you what a great time they had. Make sure that you book your seat for the next bus trip!
