BHI Awards Day

Special Report

BHI, British Horological Institute Awards Day

As promised last week I bring some photos from my amazing experience at the BHI in Upton Hall England, If you would get the chance to visit, you will not regret it!

The purpose of my visit was to attend the award ceremony to receive the FBHI certificate, I was very honoured to say the least! this which was on Saturday but I also stayed for Sunday when they had open house, this was also very enjoyable with visits to the museum and workshops where some students and teachers were present to showcase their work.

The awards day on Saturday which was from 10:00 o’clock in the morning throughout the day with many various activities apexed at around 16:00-16:30 with the certificates handed over to the students as well as membership upgrades, which I was very fortunate to be part of! Also, this year it was full house and even additional seats had to be put in place.

Oh! And another thing, I stayed in a remarkable historical Hotel called Saracens Head nearby in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, this was an experience in itself which I can highly recommend!

Enjoy the photos below from the awards day as well as the open house day;
