2016 TOKEN CONGRESS OCTOBER 7-9, 2016

Token Corresponding Society and Token Congress

Gary Oddie of the Token Corresponding Society writes:

It is getting close to the deadline to sign up for this year's Token Congress which will be held in Northampton between 7-9 October 2016. Details as follows:

"The 2016 Token Congress will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Northampton on 7-9 October. The organiser is John Newman. It will follow the usual Friday afternoon to Sunday morning format. Further details for signing up can be had via the link on the Token Corresponding Society Website."

Over 90 people have already signed up including several from the USA who are combining the visit with the Coinex fair and several auctions in the previous two weeks.

I've never been to one, but the Token Congress sounds like a great event. Check out the group's web site for information about many types of U.K. tokens, including lead tokens, communion tokens, hop tokens and engraver coins. -Editor

Token Congress was initiated in 1982 by Brian Edge, to cater specifically for token collectors and organised along the lines of the well established BANS Congress, (British Association of Numismatic Societies). This initial Token Congress at Crewe was the start of an annual event and membership has grown ever since.

There is no formal committee to run the Society, but policy decisions, as the need arises, can be made at Token Congress each year where many of the subscribers meet.
