Sally Hoban, Heritage & Training Officer started today's General Public silver visit by presenting Anne East with a bottle of Champagne. Â Anne visited Assay Office Birmingham's stand at the recent Antiques for Everyone Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham and entered our competition to win a bottle of champagne - (Veuve Clicquot - the one with the Anchor on!!.) Â She also took the opportunity to obtain a place on our additional June Silver Visit at the Assay Office for members of the general public. Â When her name was drawn from the hundreds of competition entries, Anne was thrilled and was more than delighted to receive her prize today before the visit started.
