• Exotic and Rare New Finds from members who have been ‘out and about’ in the sunshine including some pretty Fenton Flowers

• ‘Gone Fishing’ (fishy ‘tails’ from the Anthony and Maureen Ward Collection)

• ‘Here comes the Sun’ from the Weatherman – a look into carnival glass designs inspired by the sun which reveals intriguing new information on their origin

• Tornado Update – more evidence to support new research revealed in Newsletter 162 which completely changes the outlook on the inspiration for this iconic vase design.

• What Members saw on V&A Museum Trip – a walk through 2,000 years of glass leading up to the production of carnival glass.

• A North East ‘Tyneside Star’ an ‘inside out’ look at this Sowerby pattern in all its glorious forms
