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.


September is the Annual General Meeting - not usually as boring as this might sound, because it is followed by an illustrated talk.
One meeting is devoted to members' short talks, usually on a set theme, plus 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 (2007/8):

September 20th ... Annual General Meeting (followed by a short talk.)

October 18th ... “Crystal Palace on Coins and Medallions” by David Lancaster
