Joining the Society

We regret that a number of circumstances have forced the society to scale down its activities for the foreseeable future. Note that, from October 2009, we will not be able to accept new memberships.

Our achievements to date include:

• The recovery of Maling moulds, sold off when the factory closed in 1963. These have been successfully used at our collectors' days to demonstrate how Maling ware was made
• A professionally-made DVD of Maling workers casting and decorating pots and recalling their time at the pottery
• A series of informative newsletters (Back issues are available to members only.)
• An appearance on BBC Television's "Flog It!" programme, in which we publicised the quality and collectability of Maling. Again, copies are available to members only.

We hope to build on these achievements in the near future. In the meantime, email will continue to function (see Contact page) or you may write to us at:
