On Saturday (February 8), Phil will be representing Token Publishing and COIN NEWS at the Caldicot Cardiff Coin Fair (Magor and Undy Community Hub, Main Road, Caldicot, NP26 3GD, just off junction 23a of the M4).

Originally, the fair was supposed to close for just a few months at the end of 2023 whilst Cardiff City Hall was undergoing renovations. However, the venue has remained out of bounds since asbestos was discovered in the building, meaning the MJ Promotions event was without a home. Thankfully the organisers have now found a new venue and the show is back on!

Doors open at 9:30. Phil will have all our regular stock of books and magazines so please come over and say "Hello!" as he will have no Lou or Carol to keep him company!

The Inimitable Pam
On 11th February 2025, The Crewe and District Coin and Medal Society will be hearing from a distinguished speaker. She is Pam West and she will be giving the annual Brian Edge Memorial Lecture. Banknote expert and dealer Pam is the Chairperson of the London branch of The International Banknote Society and the editor of English Paper Money, the definitive work on the subject, now in its 10thedition. The somewhat enigmatic title for her talk is ‘The Inimitable Banknote’.
In March we will be holding our popular annual numismatic quiz. In June we look forward to a private visit to Manchester Museum where we will be able to see see highlights of their collections. This date has been changed from the September date previously advertised. At our September meeting we will now be hearing from our own Andy Clark on ‘British Military Tokens’ and in November we welcome Tom Hockenhull, manager of the British Museum coin room, to talk on ‘Sir Hans Sloane’s Legacy to the British Museum.’
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of most months at the Memorial Hall, Wistaston, Crewe. Visitors are always welcomed. Please contact the Secretary Stuart Hallworth on 07828 602611 for details.

After a hiatus of over a year, the Welsh fair is coming back!

Originally, the fair was supposed to close for just a few months at the end of 2023 whilst Cardiff City Hall was undergoing renovations. However, the venue has remained out of bounds since asbestos was discovered in the building, meaning the MJ Promotions event was without a home.,

Thankfully the organisers have now found a new venue and the show is back on! The first one takes place on Saturday, February 8, at the Magor and Undy Community Hub, Main Road, Caldicot, NP26 3GD, just off junction 23a of the M4.

Crewe Clocks Up 600th Meeting
The Crewe and District Coin and Medal Society was formed on 10th January 1968. From then until now it has met in an unbroken sequence which now spans almost 57 years. Over all that time, its meeting place has always been The Memorial Hall, Wistaston, near Crewe (shown here), although during Covid, of course, the society was obliged to meet remotely using Zoom.
Our meeting on 10th December, coinciding with the AGM, was the society’s 600th and to celebrate it we held a ‘Good Old Days’-themed evening featuring talks and displays about the early days of the society and how members started collecting. Following a tradition beginning in 1970, members then voted for their favourite talk and the Roy Griffin Trophy was awarded to the winner. Appropriately, this was Diane Edge-Robinson, daughter of Brian Edge, one of the driving forces in setting up the society all those years ago. A very well-attended evening was finished off with a buffet supper.
The society is in a healthy state. Although membership dipped during and soon after Covid, in the last couple of years it has grown thanks to a lively programme of events and links with local metal-detecting clubs, which have shared interests. Visitors are very welcome at our regular meetings on the second Tuesday of most months. Our next meeting will be in February, when we shall be hearing from banknote expert Pam West on the topic of ‘The Inimitable Banknote’. Please contact the Secretary Stuart Hallworth on 07828 602611 for details.
