9th Australian National Shell
Show - 2012
If you are not part of a shell club come along to one of our monthly
meetings and talk to local collectors.
Send us an email to confirm details of our next Sydney meeting.
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
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 presentations. We usually finish
4pm or so. By the way if you missed the last National
Shell Show 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.

NEW CATEGORIES FOR NON-COLLECTORS - Shell and marine creature
photographs!!!!
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.
A category with only one competitor will most likely be
judged in the general catch all category.
On the day there are also guest speakers, shells for sale and swap, and sometimes visiting shell dealers.
There are also experts who can name your unidentified specimens - FREE.
