 ANNUAL CONVENTION 10th APRIL to 14th APRIL COMMEMORATING THE MAIDEN VOYAGE AND LOSS OF R.M.S. TITANIC
 CAN it really be a whole year since the last Convention ? The Hilton in Southampton was again the venue for the Annual get-together and the "passengers and crew" met up as though we had only left the 2002 session last night ! A lot of fine, old faces and a healthy influx of some new ones, to fill in where some had decided to miss this year. FRIDAY
We arrived at the Hilton, signed in and were given a low profile single page programme due, as it explained, to late confirmation of details. Our name badges were a little "downmarket" too. I feel the initial presentation is very important and I must comment that there was no indication by outdoor signage or entrance "welcome" as to what convention we were attending ! However, we were promised first rate lectures and at last a new model of Titanic following the poor showing of models last year.
        After speaking to old and new delegates we set out for the Henry Aldridge Auction Marathon which was timed to start at 2 pm.  CLICK HERE FOR AUCTION
