8th Australian National Shell
Show
Perth WA 2009
If you are not part of a shell
club, but saw our advertising and came along to the
National Shell Show when we hosted it in Sydney
you may wish to rub shoulders with the local collectors and dealers
again. Send us an email to
confirm details of our next meeting, and come along.
steve@sydneyshellclub.net Unless
we are on a field trip we usually meet on the 4th Saturday of each
month.
We normally meet at the Ryde Eastwood Leagues-Club (For information
of members and their guests)
117 Ryedale Road, along side West Ryde Station
We arrive at around 1.30pm to look at shells and then the meeting
commences at 2pm followed by any presentations. We usually finish
4pm or so By the way if you missed the National or want
to relive the atmosphere,
our club has a small annual show each October.
There are competitive displays, educational exhibits and both collector
grade and decorator shells for sale or swap.

Annual October Sydney Shell Show - General
public are welcome
The categories for our Annual show in October are yet to be
decided
A category with only one competitor may not be
judged, just awarded a certificate.
Normally two months before the show members vote to decide what families of shell
will be exhibited and judged.
There are usually around twelve categories selected plus a children's
section. They are posted
here once known.
On the day there are also guest speakers, shells for sale, swap or
winning; and sometimes visiting shell dealers.
There are also experts who can name your unidentified specimens - FREE. |
