The members start arriving during the morning, anything from around 9.30 am to 10am and as you arrive there will be hot drinks and biscuits to refresh you.
Please bring something for the raffle, a bottle of wine, box of chocolates etc as that pays for the room.
Other members will be setting out their pottery to sell, this is why you need to be there as items come out of boxes and some go into hands, money changes hands and the item never gets as far as the table.
At 12 noon the meeting is officially opened by the chairman and the buffet is open. there is a charge of £5 which is very good value for the feast made by the wonderful Sue and Louise.
You will then have an opportunity to look at the rare items in the auction, pick up a bidding number and spend more money. I need to let you know here that you need to BRING LOTS OF CASH!! Everyone is selling their own pottery plus after the auction when you have collected your purchases the sellers have to be paid out.
You will have a wonderful day out and will be planning your visit to the next meeting.

Christmas Meeting Pilley South Yorkshire 11.12.2016
2016-12-11 09:30 - 16:30
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!

After everyone has had a chance to chat to friends old and new and look at the items in the auction we all take an auction number and hope we are able to add to our collections. While the cashiers deal with the paperwork the raffle is drawn, most members bring a little raffle prize, followed by a short talk from someone who has quite a lot of knowledge of Hornsea Pottery.
When we have paid for our new pieces the chat continues before we tear ourselves away and travel home.

Nostalgia Weekend Hornsea Freeport
2015-08-29 - 2015-09-01
This event will be the sixth one the Society has held at Hornsea Freeport. The first year was only supposed to be held on Bank Holiday Saturday but was so popular that some of our members stayed on for the Sunday too.
Since then we have taken over a vacant unit on the site for all three days of the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Our members bring their surplus Hornsea Pottery to sell to collectors of the many different types of pottery, plus there will be plenty of tableware for anyone who is looking for replacements of broken items.
In 2013 on the Bank Holiday Monday we invited Paul Hayes the television antiques expert to value items of Hornsea Pottery and other items brought for him to peruse. The queue was endless and Paul worked hard all day.
Because that event was so well received, in 2014 we were very pleased when Mark Hill who is the Retro and Vintage expert on the Sunday evening antiques programme agreed to our request to appraise the many and various items brought by the general public. He gave us an amazing master class on a large quantity of rare glass belonging to some of our members.
This event will be held at Hornsea Freeport over the three day August Bank Holiday weekend with an antiques expert on the Bank Holiday Monday to value any vintage, retro or antique item.
We are very pleased to announce that Beverley based Auctioneer and Bargain Hunt antiques expert Caroline Hawley will be joining us on the Bank Holiday Monday to value your antiques and collectables. Please bring along any item you would like to know the value of, pottery, jewellery, glass or anything you can carry! So search your attic or garage and bring them along!
