This is the PROGRAM of the

Kingston Numismatic Society

We have an auction twice a year (June and December), but I'm afraid this is strictly members' only.
In January there is no formal meeting, but an informal gathering is usually held at the house of one of the members.


The February meeting is devoted to members' short talks, usually on a set theme.
September is the Annual General Meeting - not usually as boring as this might sound, because it includes our annual Display Competion, and a perpetual cup is awarded for what is voted to be the best display.
The remaining meetings are normally talks by visiting or guest speakers, or sometimes by one of our own "celebrities"!

Here is the program for the current year (1998/9):

September 17th ... Annual General Meeting and Display Competition

October 15th ... "The History of Surrey's Infantry Regiments" by Richard Ford

November 19th ... "Kingston Trading Tokens and the Kingston Museum" by Tim Everson

Our monthly meetings start at 7.30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month (except December and January) at
KING ATHELSTAN SCHOOL

The December meeting is held as above but on the second Thursday (so as not to conflict with Christmas preparations).
