Magazine 1148

Membership of The Shelley Group brings many benefits:-

Colour Magazine

You will receive a quarterly colour magazine full of interesting articles. The magazine is published in March, June, September and December and members are encouraged to contribute to it whether it is only a few lines or a longer article. Digital copies of the magazine are placed on the website shortly after publication and you will have access to the complete archive which is fully searchable.


Invitations to Social Gatherings

You will be invited to attend regional gatherings organized by your regional representative. Many are held in members’ homes where you will be able to see their collection, whilst other events have included picnics, beach parties, lunches and visits. Other gatherings are held as coffee-breaks at popular collectors fairs. Members meet in the cafe for a much-needed rest and show their purchases. Look out for details on the "News" and "Diary" sections.
The Shelley Group Annual Weekend combines our Annual General Meeting with social events, talks and workshops, an exhibition, 'bring and buy' sale and a silent auction. This event also gives members a chance to meet other members with similar collecting interests.


Monthly Zoom Presentations

In addition to receiving the quarterly magazine and holding regional meetings, we hold Internet meetings jointly with our sister clubs using Zoom. These are open to all members, no charge and no commitment. Generally these comprise of a PowerPoint presentation on a Shelley or Wileman subject followed by a “show and tell” with members joining in to show related items,  ask questions etc. If you are not familiar with Zoom, it is simple to use and to join meetings. There is no need to speak unless you wish – just join in and watch. Invitations together with joining instructions are issued to all members prior to the meeting. The presentations are recorded and made available on the website Playlist.
