As the Winter Newsletter goes to press this is the time to plan your visit to the wonderful Christmas meeting at Pilley in South Yorkshire.

We are expecting a very rare piece of Hornsea Pottery to be in the auction. This is a Bust of a Girl lamp complete with shade. Very few were made, probably about a dozen, there is one in the Hornsea Museum. It has a bit of damage to the neck of the lamp which could easily be made good. A perfect one would be very expensive.

Another friendly meeting and you have time to join the collectors society before then or possibly buy membership as a gift for someone who loves Hornsea Pottery.

I will always remember going to our first meeting and seeing so much of our favourite pottery on display.

There will be another wonderful buffet at noon plus tea/coffee and soft drinks and biscuits all day for the princely sum of £4.

Oh yes and a chunk of Christmas cake to take home!
