Society information

The background

The Chester and North Wales Coin and Banknote Society was formed in 1996 as a successor to the Merseyside and Chester numismatics’ societies. Membership is drawn from across Cheshire, Merseyside, Wirral and North Wales. There is no annual subscription but those attending meetings are asked for a small contribution to cover the cost of the room hire.

The society meets on a regular basis throughout the year. We present a wide variety of talks and lectures focusing on coins and banknotes, many of these are also of historical and archaeological interest. Quizzes and occasional visits are also arranged. We aim to present at least one special guest lecture a year by an acknowledged expert, often the curator from a museum such as the British Museum. We are a friendly society and there is always plenty of discussion and conversation both before and after the formal part of the meeting.

The venue

The society meets at the Liver Hotel, Brook Street, Chester which provides a pleasant and private back room for the meetings. A good range of liquid refreshment is available over the bar.

The Liver Hotel is about two minutes walk from Chester railway station (upon leaving the station turn right and follow the road round past the Post Office club, the Liver Hotel is the first pub on the left after the bend in the road). For those traveling by car there is ample parking near to the pub.

Meetings commence at 8 pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month, except for August (no meeting) and December (when we meet on the second Tuesday).

All those with an interest in coins and banknotes are most welcome to attend - whether you are an expert in your chosen field or just starting to collect - we look forward to meeting you.
