Coronavirus

 

Due to the Covid pandemic and the various restrictions placed on public gatherings, those meetings of our Society lined in red have had to be cancelled.

2nd January 2020

These are trying times, and the performance of our members is being tested and evaluated this evening. Whether our performance is Extremely Fine, or merely Very Good, won’t actually make any difference as we take part in our Coin Identification and Grading Quiz organised by Society Secretary Alan Dawson. Expert Numismatists? What more Proof do we need? We get the Pyx!

 

6th February 2020

The end of the 18th Century and the beginning of the 19th saw enormous changes in the structure of almost everything, not least the circulating medium. The coinage of King George III goes from the almost invisible to the ubiquitous. Our Society member Eric Hodge will tell us the story of how our modern coins originated.

 

5th March 2020

One of the delights of membership in a Society such as ours is the opportunity to see, and examine, coins and other items which are outside our own regular collecting interests. ‘Recent Acquisitions’ is an evening where we can show and talk about that star find of our own, and enjoy those things which our friends and colleagues have found.

 

2nd April 2020

The April meeting had to be cancelled at short notice due to the restrictions imposed on public gatherings in response to the Covid pandemic, which was beginning to take hold across the country.

2020 Programme

 

Our Annual Programme of meetings runs from January to December. Each year, in Autumn, our tireless Committee Members burn the midnight oil in industrial quantities, working on the Programme for the year. The results of their labours can be seen here.

 

Obviously, the Programmes for past years have been and gone, but it can be useful and interesting to refer to what has been as well as to look up what is to be. So, to that end, we provide an archive.
