Autumn meeting Great Ponton Lincolnshire 25.09.2016

September 25, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 5:30 pm

The Autumn meeting is held in Great Ponton which is right on the A1 so it is an easy venue to find.

Members will start to arrive around 10 am where they will be welcomed with a hot drink and a tray of biscuits.

Soon there will be boxes of Hornsea Pottery being opened and the contents put out for sale or for the auction which will take place later in the afternoon.

Around noon our Chairman will open the meeting and will offer thanks to everyone who has worked to make sure the meeting was succesful. This will be followed by our usual all you can eat delicious buffet including all drinks throughout the day. Only £4 each what a bargain.

After everyone has had a chance to chat to friends old and new and look at the items in the auction we all take an auction number and hope we are able to add to our collections. While the cashiers deal with the paperwork the raffle is drawn, most members bring a little raffle prize, followed by a short talk from someone who has quite a lot of knowledge of Hornsea Pottery.

When we have paid for our new pieces the chat continues before we tear ourselves away and travel home.

Memberships are often for sale on Ebay.

There is a very friendly Facebook group Hornsea Pottery Collectors. Some people are society members but not all.
