BSCC events in 2021

In normal years the Club holds three events open to non-members. In 2021, as a result of continuing restrictions on gatherings in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic (and the fact that our usual Theydon Bois venue is in use as a coronavirus testing centre), there has been no Shell Club Convention in April.

There was also no Chatsworth Shell Fayre this summer, but it will return on 20 August 2022.

We did hold the Shell Show on the last Saturday in October. For this year only we proposed not to have competition displays at the event, in order to make more room for socialising and buying shells.

In addition to publicly open events Club members are usually invited to regular get-togethers throughout the year. It was decided that there would be no get-togethers this summer but we hope they will be back on the calendar next year.

Updates on the events calendar will be provided on this website and on the Club Facebook page in due course. In case you have forgotten what everybody looks like, please see the Club News page for photos of past events.
