NATIONAL ANTIQUES WEEK GOING FORWARD

We just came across this interesting update on the UK's first National Antiques Week, which commenced in 2009.

NATIONAL ANTIQUES WEEK GOING FORWARD

Following a very successful first year for the week long event, the date for future National Antiques Week events going forward will be fixed for the first Monday of December, so 2010 will be Monday 6 to Sunday 12 December inclusive.

One of the many positives to come out of this first event was the forming of the group consisting of Sarah Percy Davis, Chief Executive of LAPADA, Mark Bridge, editor of the Antiques Trade Gazette, Natasha Goodfellow, deputy editor of BBC Homes & Antiques magazine, Nigel Worboys of www.antiquesaregreen.org and Iain Brunt of www.antiques.co.uk who together with Gail McLeod editor of Antiquesnews will meet three times a year to discuss not only National Antiques Week but other projects and events of interest with the aim of collaborating, using their combined media might and influence for the benefit of the trade. The committee will increase in scope in 2010 when Clive Stewart-Lockhart, chairman of SOFAA (Society of Fine Art Auctioneers) will join the team.

We will be sure to follow this new initiative and do all we can in support.
