Annual Exhibition

As we all know 2009 had been an extremely difficult year economically speaking and we were very concerned how this may effect our annual exhibition. The morning of 27^th September dawned; the sun was shining and it remained that way all day. Despite our fears, we were really pleasantly surprised to have 215 visitors this year. This was 40 more than last year. Inside the halls we were able to present a wide range of exhibits and all our usual helpful and friendly dealers offering a full range of militaria items. The exhibits consisted of the following displays:-

Royal Marine Badges
Infantry Regimental Colours
The Rifle Brigade 1800 to 1965
Royal Fusilier Service Battalions Badges and stories
Medal Groups of the 4^th Battalion, The Queen’s
Miniature Medals – “Small and Beautiful”
Airbourne WW2 – Uniforms, weapons and equipment
The Queen’s 5^th T.A. Post 1908 Tunic and Badges
9^th East Surrey Regiment and the “Spring Offensive”
Badges of the RAF
Badges of the Norfolk Regiment

These exhibits were of a very high standard this year and gave the judges a very difficult job deciding who was to take away the prizes this year. At the end of a great day, we all packed up and went home very tired but having had an enjoyable day. We hope that our visitors also found it a satisfying day and the dealers a profitable one. So why not put a “note in your diary” to join us next year and discover new friends and maybe that missing item from your collection.
