This page contains links to the major Paperweight Clubs and Glass Fairs.

Being a member of the international paperweight clubs and associations offers a number of benefits: not only will you be made welcome in a group of like-minded collectors who meet to exchange ideas about paperweights, their publications keep you up-to-date with a calendar of forthcoming events, new findings from the world of paperweights and new artists.

Paperweight Collectors Circle (PCC), England.
The PCC has a large, international collector/dealer membership. Meetings are organized throughout the year (generally on a Saturday) at various locations, in the south, south-west and the Midlands. Guest speakers and artists are invited to talk on paperweights or paperweight-related topics, dealers are present and members can also offer weights for sale. A Garden Party is often held in the summer and trips are arranged to places of interest for paperweight collectors. An informative Newsletter is mailed to members 3 times year, with reports on club activities and articles on various topics contributed by members and paperweight artists.

Northern Paperweight Society (NPS), England.
As the name implies, the NPS is mainly active in the north of England and has a very supportive collector/dealer membership. Meetings are held at various venues throughout the year culminating in the AGM/Christmas Party in early December. The Society invites guest speakers and artists to meetings, which usually start with a lunch so there is plenty of time to catch up on the latest news while being tempted by the wares offered by the attending dealers! The NPS also arranges trips for its members and publishes its own magazine The Gather twice a year.
