On 15th June 2008 the BHI celebrated its 150th Anniversary

From 7th to 9th and 13th to 15th June, a special programme of horological events was held at Upton Hall to mark this special occasion.

The first weekend, June 7th to 9th, comprised a series of specialist horological symposia.

The second weekend, Friday 13th to Sunday 15th, Upton Hall was open to the public for our three-day Annual Show.

Thanks to all our generous sponsors (see panel, left)!

The Show in Pictures...

We're delighted with the support we received throughout both events from our Corporate Members, Event Sponsors, Raffle Prize Donors, Directors, Staff, Volunteers, and of course our many symposium delegates and Show visitors.

The Institute offers a special thank you to the Fiona Herbert Catering Company Ltd, who made a magnificent job of feeding many hundreds of hungry mouths throughout the event.

Our 2008 raffle was a runaway success, raising over £5000 for Institute funds.
