'Members Only' - Password Update
A reminder that a new password will be required to access those areas of the website marked as 'Members only' from 1 July 2026. The new password can be found on page 22 of the June Magazine recently mailed to members.
Shelley Bookshop and Library
As notified on this website earlier this year, we have been planning changes to these two areas. We no longer have stocks of printed books for sale and whilst the Shop will continue for possible future sales, the main centre for research will be the Shelley Library. This will contain details of most items previously in the Bookshop but now includes a much expanded section of eBooks - mainly past Annual Weekend talks which a freely available for members only to read. The same password as for Magazines applies. The eBooks are fully searchable using the online search facility 'Freefind', located on our 'Home' page. This adds considerably to the wealth of information avaible to members.
Shelley Silver Cup Holders and other Metalware
If you missed Gerry Pearce's presentation on Saturday 20 June 2026, it is now available to view on the Playlist or via this direct link
40 Years of the Shelley Group
At the 2026 Annual Weekend, a slide show featuring activities of the Group over its' 40 year period was available for members attending the weekend to view. This is now available on this website on the 'About the Group' page. This slideshow is for MEMBERS ONLY and password protected.
Shelley Shop - Books
The Shelley Shop is being re-designed. We have very few published books still for sale and we request that no further orders are made whist we undertake a full review of this page and the available items. Most of the booklets produced by the Group, particularly those relating to Annual Weeked Talks, will soon be available as ebooks, available to members to view free of charge. Please bear with us whilst we make these adjustments.
Diary Update - IACF Fairs
The diary has now been updated with links to the 2026 IACF Planner together with the IACF Calendar. The link to Antiques Atlas remains unaltered.
It is easy to become a member of the Shelley Group. The whole process including payment may now be completed on-line by following the link on the Become a Member page. We look forward to you joining us!
