The Dorset Antique Bottle Collectors Club
was formed in 1981, prior to this there was a local branch of
The Old Bottle Collectors Club of Great Britain. The club is for
anyone with an interest in old bottles, pot lids, flagons,
advertising; and similar items. Members interests include
collecting , recovery and recording of bottles and other items
as well as research into their history. The annual subscription
is currently £3. The main club activity is the monthly meeting at Hamworthy, Poole held on the first Monday of every month at 7pm.(Free entry) Items from collections as well as latest finds and purchases are on display at the meetings. Buying and selling of surplus collectables also takes place at these meetings. The club produces a colour newsletter where members can include details of items in their collection and other research. An annual bottle show is organised each year , the venue booked for 2011 is Minstead Village Hall on Sunday May 29th. This show gives collectors from a wider area the chance to buy and sell bottles and associated collectables. There are normally about 40 stalls at this event. The club also organizes displays at the show to give collectors and general public a chance to see a large selection of items from local collections. |
