Antics Roadshow

This was the Horizons version of the Antiques Roadshow were people brought some of their kit, and other things, to show off and talk about. It was a really relaxed atmosphere with people going from table to table and just chatting.

Here are a selection of photos from the session:

The Wrap Up

In a blink of an eye it was all over – and everyone there agreed that they had all had a fantastic weekend. Some had been there for both days events, and others only one of the two days, but everyone had a great time.

Thank you to Imperica for organising the event, and to the BFI for hosting it.

And a very special thank you to Leila for my copy of The Quill!
