This year the 11th annual medallion congress organised by the Historical Medal Society will this year be held at a new venue:

The event, for collectors of commemorative and historical medals, will be held at the Stratford Manor Hotel conveniently located on the A439 just 3 miles from Junction 15 on the M40 the outskirts of the historic towns of Warwick and Stratford Upon Avon.

As usual proceedings will commence on the Saturday morning with a full programme of talks interspersed by lunch and refreshments. There will be an evening meal followed by a Congress bourse giving the opportunity for delegates to acquire new specimens for their collection. Delegates can choose whether to stay for the day or overnight with a bargain rate being offered for overnight stays on Friday or Saturday. Many are likely to make a weekend of it and visit the local sites of Warwick castle , Stratford upon Avon. The choice of date in July 2025 will enable anyone, staying on Saturday night, to visit the Midland Coin Fair to be held on Sunday 13th at the National Motorcycle Museum, which is only a short drive away.If interested further details can be obtained from the website of the Historical Medal Society https://www.historicalmedalsociety.org.uk/congress/or email: historicalmedalsociety@gmail.com.
