Don't forget Alton second Bottleshow of the year this Sunday 19th! Cannot praise this one too highly, run very professionally by Mick Wells and co, this is compact but always packs a punch. And two shows every year shows how much it is regarded. I always do well buying and selling, and as the last show of the year it has the collectors doing their last fling before Xmas. Parking right nearby (small Sunday charge), excellent refreshments, something for everyone. Earlyglass and ABC will be there WITH THE LATEST ABC MAGAZINE #89 which I'm picking up today. So drop by us and pick up yours.

Don't forget!....

Oxford Show Sunday 12th June

Don't forget the upcoming Oxford show this Sunday, the first of two this year now in the same venue both run by Gary Wakelin, who we should always thank for taking on the risk of the first show during the major covid restrictions a year ago. Oxford show has gone from strength to strength and deserves it's place in the mainstream list of British shows. Any show that can command two dates in the year is getting it right!

Dont forget, one of the best little shows in the country is on this Sunday 20th March at Alton. See ABC there and catch up with us. and bring your earlyglass for sales and trades...new stock available

Ok hands up, I cocked up and somehow that I cannot fathom missed out the ad for next Cirencester show in the latest ABC issue84!!!!, so my massive apologies to Keith and Nigel, and I will make up for it by trying to get out the next magazine in time for their show in April solely so they'll be covered. In addition Ill be plastering their advertising over the ABC collectors website and all over facebook in the next few weeks. So apologies again Keith & Nigel. I had the ad there ready and waiting and it just got missed, I would have bet my life that I had put it in there... :(
so heres the first one....

ABC all ready to go to print now (just waiting for any last minute inclusions from BBR). Very pleased with this issue but always looking to encourage more articles from the bottle world and it's huge supply of highly knowledgeable collectors. Most of us are experts in at least one area, and it doesn't take very much to produce a suprisingly interesting article. So do send us even just your ideas for something. Its all part of making ABC a genuine soapbox and educational resource.
WE also plan to extend the website with much more in the archiving of information to be freely accessible to everyone. Check it out now and start delving into the different pages. Its still just a framework but we will start filling it with your help...
regards
