The Club stages exhibitions of members' work and other specific displays of minerals, fossils, cut and polished stones and jewellery on two weekends at the clubrooms each year. In 2010 the exhibitions will be held on 11th/12th and 18th/19th June.
Members of the public, in particular, are invited to attend this event. It is publicised widely and attracts a very large following. There is an entry fee of $2.00 for adults and 50c for children.
This is one of the highlights of the year and provides an opportunity for members of the public to purchase rocks, minerals, crystals, fossils, cut and polished stones, and jewellery items at very reasonable prices.
On these occasions the Club workshops are operating and demonstrating most of the Club activities.
These exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity for prospective members to have a look at the Club facilities and to see the end result of the work undertaken by members. Dozens of brilliantly lit show cases are used to display members' work which include rocks, cut and polished stones, faceted gemstones, items of jewellery, minerals, crystals, enamelled items, opal, carvings and fossils. Items from all corners of the world are on display, many available to be purchased. Lucky dips and some free rocks are available for the children.
Displayed amongst very colourful floral arrangements, it is widely acclaimed as a most attractive exhibition.
Light refreshments are available at a very reasonable cost.
The exhibition is open from 10.00am to 5.00pm.
