Regular Meetings
Eight meetings are held each year with talks covering a wide variety of glass-related subjects, occasionally given by international speakers. Following the AGM, in October or November, interesting and often obscure glass objects belonging to members are discussed. The meetings are held in central London, within easy reach of Euston and Kings Cross mainline stations, bus routes and underground stations. The meetings start at 6.30 pm with light refreshments, followed by the lecture at 7.15 pm. Members are invited to bring up to two guests but are requested to advise the Secretary in advance. There is a small charge for guests.

Glass Circle News
The quarterly Glass Circle News is the life-blood of the society. It includes glass-related articles, often synopses of previous talks. Also included are book and exhibition reviews together with notification of forthcoming glass events and auctions. Members are encouraged to submit notes and enquiries about pieces in their collections that other members may be able to help identify or provide further clarification. |

The Glass Circle Journal
The Glass Circle publishes a journal as an occasional volume, every three or four years containing refereed articles on glass contributed by both British and international glass experts. |
