Title: Melbourne Coin Clubs
Post by: enworb on December 26, 2013, 03:35:58 PM
In a couple of weeks i will be moving from Adelaide to Melbourne.

Although im selling off most of my collection at the moment i plan on building it up slowly again.

Ive been along to a few of the Adelaide club's meetings and have enjoyed them so would like to know if anyone here is a member of a Melbourne club and if they find it any good?

I did a quick google search and couldnt find much so any details would be awesome.

Send a PM to splockter who is a member here.  He's the president of the NAV I believe.

Welcome aboard! Don't forget to leave your buggy whip and powdered wig at the border.. they went out of style here ages ago. :diablo:

The Melbourne Numismatic Society meets next on Thursday, Jan 9th Feb 13th IIRC, in Station St, Box Hill Sth. I could probably be talked into attending... its been a while.. ;)

Fulvio, the Melbourne Numismatic Society (MNS) does indeed meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month EXCEPT January, so you'd be on your own if you turned up. ;-) I'm a member of both Melbourne clubs and they'd both be welcoming of new members enworb. The Numismatic Association of Victoria (NAV) meets on the 3rd Friday of the month at the Celtic Club in the city but like the the MNS unfortunately doesn't meet in January.

Both clubs have their Annual General Meetings in February, which aren't the most exciting of meetings, however the "new acquisitions" sections are always fun to see what members received in their stockings at Christmas. If you want more details of times and directions just let me know, it's always great to see visitors! Oh and if you PM me your postal address I'll send you a copy of the NAV's recent Newsletter so you can see what we get up to.

Oh bother!

See what I get for not showing up for a while? Its been a year or three since I made the effort to drag myself out, even though its just around the corner. :(
