We will select the markets for Sunday morning closer to the time based on which ones are

dates have not been announced for 2014. Some usually have miniatures for sale.

If you want to hold a meeting please let one of the committee know.

How about at least one meeting in Christchurch in 2014? Will the southern members consider
this and please let me know by Christmas do I can advertise it/them in the next miNiZ.

afterword

Everybody thought that the 100 page 100th Edition of miNiZ was a great idea but there is a
problem - nobody has sent me ANY articles since then (although thanks to David and Peter who
sent lots of bottle photos for me to process into articles for them). The 100th Edition was 6 months
ago. The articles you see from other members in this miNiZ were sent for the 100th but were held-
over. I am almost out of the held-over articles so
I REALLY, REALLY NEED YOUR ARTICLES FOR miNiZ103

Want to see a truly amazing collection? Check out The Cathedral of Whisky. This is a Brazilian
site displaying the collection of Rubens Didone Neto.
http://www.catedraldowhisky.com.br/colecao.html
This is a huge collection of mainly large, and obviously full, whisky bottles both straight and figural.
There is a wall of ceramic minis. Forget the building, just imagine the money involved in the bottles.
