Theydon Bois Village Hall 9am to 4pm (doors open for dealers at 7.30am)
Open to the public Admission free • shells for sale
• dealers' tables • all welcome – beginners to experts After such a long interval between Club events it would be great to see as many people as possible at this year's Show. Please note: to make more room for socialising, we won't be holding judged competitions this year, although members are still very welcome to bring exhibits for display (please be sure to book some table space in advance for these).
The usual catering arrangements will be in place.
Covid-19 advice: We strongly encourage all attendees to wear a mask inside the hall. Hand sanitiser will also be available.
This will also be our first post-Brexit Show, which, with possible ongoing restrictions due to Covid may affect travel. If anyone overseas is hoping to attend the Show and needs advice or assistance, please do get in touch.
To find out more about the Show or to book a table, please contact the Show Secretary.

Access by public transport Theydon Bois Tube Station is on the London Underground Central Line, Epping branch: do not take trains for destinations other than Epping, to avoid a long detour round the Hainault loop. Theydon Bois is the last stop before the Epping terminus.
Trains run every 10 minutes from around 7am and the journey from Liverpool Street, for example, takes 30 minutes. Return trains into London are available into the evening. For ticket purposes, Theydon Bois is in Zone 5.
From the station, walk up the hill with the village green to your left. The Village Hall is approximately 5 minutes' walk up the road, on the right.
From London City Airport take the Docklands Light Railway to Stratford and change onto the Central Line, then follow the directions above.
