tHANK YOU!
Thank you so much for coming to our show and helping it be such a success as usual! Feedback from our exhibitors was very positive, considering the unpredictable weather in November.The show seemed pretty busy at times during the day and many exhibiters reported that they had a great show - always a good thing to hear! Certainly the visitors seemed to be enjoying themselves.
See you at the next Oxford Show in MARCH 2026, Where, after months of talks, We are delighted that Exeter Hall are joint hosting the Oxford Show and the Russell Society's Annual Social Meeting, where in addition to the usual hall of dealers, there is likely to be AN AUCTION; and possibly TALKS in the adjoining room and LOTS of other interesting and exciting happenings.
To enjoy the WHOLE WEEKEND from Friday and including evening social gatherings, dinner, workshops and talks with the addition of trips to Oxford Museum of Natural History and the Natural History Museum London - you will need to be a Russell Society Member!
The Russell Society encourages Topographical mineralogy, the conservation of minerals and the preservation of mineralogical sites.There are HUGE benefits to becoming a Russell Society member including organised collecting trips; an invaluable repository of mineralogical knowledge and much more.
