Christchurch Antique Bottle & Collectables Club
Welcome
The objectives of the Christchurch Antique Bottle and Collectables Club are to preserve, study, display, and share historical data of all kinds. Items of glass, ceramic, wood, brass, cast-iron, paper can all be found within the collections of club members. If it is old, interesting, a fossicking find, or a family heirloom, people tend to enjoy collecting it and showing it to others.
We are an incorporated society.
Come Visit
Meetings are held on the last Sunday of each month except December when there is no meeting. You can come to a meeting as a non-member wanting to find out more about us. To contact us or download a membership form, see the links at the bottom of this page, or come to a meeting!
Included on the meeting agenda are regular features, such as Item of the Night, which caters for all collectables. Members bring on-topic items to display as well as New Finds for discussion. There are many knowledgeable collectors in the club who give informative regular talks. Tea and coffee is served halfway through the meeting. There is a $3 door charge to help cover venue hire and a raffle is sold and drawn on the night. Prospective members do not pay the usual $3 door charge at the monthly meetings.
