The poem is courtesy of
William Blake, although he
did not personally give
permission as he died nearly 200 years ago. It is the first time
miNiZ has published a poem, and probably the last!

The tiger on the ball is, of course, from Ski Country. Next is the
curled up tiger from Global Whisky & Spirits. This tiger also can be seen with the Ochakovskaya
label. The next tiger is common with the Garnier label but quite rare here with a Duca label. Niccolo
made the tiger looking at us.

The first caricature tiger is from Famous Firsts. The second is a super rare sabre tooth tiger from
the Flintstones set by Linfa Salus. The green tiger head is from an unknown Taiwanese company.
Finally on the previous page is ‘The Year of The Tiger’ from Sam Seng. There are a number of
variations of this.

On this page we have one really nice glass tiger from Fardeas. This has also been issued by
Prunier. The next two are from Proshyansky and Merript, neither of which are very good examples
of the glass blower’s art.

Friday 19th - Sunday 21st February 2016 AGM Weekend in Christchurch

th
This weekend will be the 5 anniversary of the most major of the Christchurch earthquakes. Details to
be advised but please, let’s have a good turnout – Christchurch is back. All but one of our ‘out of town’
members missed the earthquake by a day or two in 2011. We cannot promise another earthquake but we
can promise a good weekend.

Other meeting dates and venues for 2016 will be decided at the AGM
