This
part of our site is primarily for the benefit of members
and may one day become
a password-protected area. We considered making the Directory of Members available online,
so that it would be up to date, but many members do not have access to the internet. A Members Handbook dated
January 2016 was sent to members with our Autumn 2015 journal.

Auction 97 was intended to take place as a meeting in person on 3 December 2022. Travel absences, illness and computer
failure all conspired to make this impossible. This auction was therefore retimed to end at 3pm on 21 January 2023.
Provisional results are given at Auction 97 Results (PDF).

THE JOHN SIMPSON COLLECTION
A former member who died tragically in 2004, John Simpson
was an assiduous collector not only of books on fishing but also of
early bookplates, especially typographic labels, Early Armorials and Jacobean style bookplates. Results of the
auction at Bonhams, New Bond Street on 17 May 2005 are at www.bonhams.com and were included in the Society's
June newsletter. Some 23,000 bookplates sold for £63,000. An offprint of the catalogue was circulated to members, and further copies are available for purchase
by non-members Click here. John Simpson produced these two bookplates for himself, and they are discussed in our Autumn 2012
journal. From time to time the Society has a few prints available, at £6 each (post free to UK).
