Don't forget the 25th Exeter Show Sunday 20th August
Situated in the excellent Exeter Racecourse suite of buildings, very easily accessible, with good free parking, refreshments and facilities. Caravan/Camper camping available on site. The most southerly of all the Westcountry shows it brings in all the Westcountry collectors and is well run by an experienced group of collectors. Martin and Chris in control.
BBR will also be holding an on the road auction. The venue also includes a giant bootfair in the afternoon.
ABC will be there with the latest magazine, and Earlyglass with their usual range, so bring along items for inclusion, identification and valuation.


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.
