Have your antiques valued by Sotheby's at show

AN 'Antiques Roadshow' will be in Tow Law next week as part of the town¹s community festival.
A representative from Sotheby¹s Auctioneers will be present at Tow Law Community Centre to value items on Friday, March 23, at 7pm.
As he will only be able to conduct between 40 and 50 valuations, lots will be drawn from entry tickets bought either before the event or on the night.
The exhibition is being organised by the Community Association, which held a successful event a few years ago and felt the time was right to include another Roadshow as part of the year¹s Community Festival.
Jenny Flynn, the Association¹s Secretary said: "We are really pleased that the people of Tow Law will be able to come along to the centre and have their keepsakes and antiques valued.
"The association is organising this, not only where people can have a value put on their collectibles, but also as a fun evening.
"Refreshments will be provided and there will be an opportunity to purchase our Year of the Community Festival Commemorative Mugs ­ designed by children from Tow Law¹s two primary schools" Entry to the event is £2, with each valuation costing £1.
The entry fee will include tea or coffee and biscuits.
