Sunday 12th of July 2009 Another "Fabulous Day!"
Hugh Edwards (Chairman of Moorcroft) and Lesley Cartlidge (Moorcrofts senoir demonstrator on the right) had all enthralled, with demonstrations and informative casual chats, making the day a most rewarding and fun filled episode.
With home made finger food and the skies blessing us with sunshine, (despite it being mid winter), it was a perfect setting for a great day, with even the flowers opening their colorful faces for a look at proceedings.
With more than two hundred people attending, it was a remarkable feat to have everyone catered for and their questions answered, so our thanks go out to all the staff and volunteers who lent a hand on that "Fabulous Day!"
Also a huge thank you to Karen Alan and Philip Allen of Moorcroft Australia, who both made the day so much easier with their professional assistance and vast product knowledge.
Congratulations to Honny, one of the latest lucky prize winners from our "Home & Away" event 23 to the 25th of October 2009
Congratulations to Imogen who was one of our lucky door prize winners from our "Continent of Colour" event..
Sunday the 25th of March 2007
Hugh Edwards also Visited Drakesbrook Antiques on Sunday the 25th of March 2007. Being his last stop on his Australian visit, it was, as expected, a "fantastic day" with well over 100 people attending the event. Hugh was signing his new book "A New Dawn" which brings the series on Moorcroft pottery right up to the present day. Plus he was over signing the "New Dawn" vase, and any other pieces purchased on the day. He was supposed to finish at 4pm but ended up leaving after 7.30pm. The whole crowd was impressed by his personal approach, spending lots of time with each person and writing almost mini essays in the front of each of their books.

************************************************
As with the previous tours there was a vase up for grabs Moorcroft's "Grace" 82/16"(valued at more than $3,000.00). All vase purchases over $200.00 were entered into the barrel for the Australian wide draw.
Yes! It was one of our customers who won the prize again, making us a very lucky shop indeed. The winning ticket was drawn out of the box by Maureen Edwards at the end of our show, after a very long shuffle of coupons to ensure they were all mixed sufficiently.
