Special Interest Days
There are normally three Special Interest Days held each year in spring, summer and autumn. The day usually starts at 10am (but it can be earlier) with coffee/tea/biscuits and finishes about 3.30pm. A light lunch with wine is normally included. There are two lectures before lunch. The afternoon session could be another lecture or a ‘road show’ where members bring items for appraisal.
Venue
Special Interest Days for 2026 will be held at Gordon's School, West End, GU24 9PT.
