WEMBLEY WARE WEEK March 2012
WEMBLEY WARE WEEK 2012 was a great success and looks like becoming a regular event on the Subiaco calendar.
The object of bringing the china and its story to the community was acheived. Interest in the terrific displays which the Subiaco business owners created in their shop windows was high. It was fantastic to see people moving around between the shops and venturing inside to get a better look at the items. Events and displays in the Musuem and Librarywere very well attended. Many people visited the Wembley Ware Information Stall at the Subi Farmers Market and it was great to meet so many of you.
Whichever way you look at it, this was a wonderful week for Wembley Ware.

Twenty two members and guests attended the delightful venue in a coffee-shop situated in a garden centre. The well-stocked and interesting antique shop nearby was a temptation. An impressive collection of lovely pieces of Wembley Ware was displayed and many purchases were made by the members.

Wembley Ware Society General Meeting was held in Subiaco.
The program included some time for socialising and refreshments and also a display and explanation of members’ recently purchased items. This was very interesting with several uncommon items of Wembley Ware, Calyx, Australian Fine China and Bristile being shown.
Dirk Meier was a very popular Guest Speaker, having worked at the china factory for 50 years. We hope Dirk will be back to address us again in 2012.
It was a terrific opportuinity to meet with other collectors and people interested in the china, and the committee would love to see even more members attending future meetings.
Those present were asked for feedback and suggestions for how the society could meet the member’s needs. A request was made for members to join the committee and/or help in particular roles such as website manager, assistance in setting-up meetings etc.
We look forward to more Wembley Ware Society events in 2012.
