Don't forget Exeter Show Sunday
17th August
This is another Racecourse based venue that offers excellent facilities, refreshments, plenty of space, easy parking, loading and unloading, Camping and caravanning on site, and we make a holiday of it, taking in the sights of the lovely Devon countryside and coastline, and particularly the intriguing mix of olde world and modern City of Exeter. Easily accessible, essentially all motorway driving until until you come off the end of the M5 and straight onto the Racecourse!
Rod is stepping down but Chris Russell has been co-organising for a good while now so arrangements have been going smoothly, and with continued help of the local club members and other helpers it should be yet another excellent show that offers a good representation of all that's available from the Westcountry diggers and collectors. An eclectic mix of bargains and furthermore a giant bootfair after the show finishes. Earlyglass and ABC will be there again and selling the latest issue ABC#93 which has been recieving glowing praise from everyone reading it. See you there with your great finds and stories...
Latest issue #93 now available!....

About Antique Bottle Collector Magazine
ABC magazine is a quarterly full-colour magazine of 40 + pages. Read about new finds, researched histories, show reports, digging news, bottles wanted and for sale. The aim is to encourage all those who have discovered the 'buzz' of hunting and digging out Edwardian, Victorian, and sometimes earlier bottle dumps. Some of which can be valuable, all of which are fascinating, intrinsically beautiful and important local social history artifacts.
Back issues of ABC Magazine are available from £1 each+post. Go to the Resources/Books section to see some of the more recent issues available.
We are grateful to AAAuctions Ltd for the use in many instances of their excellent photography both in this website and in the printed ABC magazine.
We'd love to hear from you!
