I recently moved to northern Colorado, and decided to attend the monthly meeting of the Fort Collins Coin Club. I was a little apprehensive about it, as the meeting is held at a funeral home, but that part was fine as it is in an adjoining reception room with a kitchen area - I guess its used for wakes and such.
Very friendly group and a lot of interesting coin talk. Dan Carr showed up, as his facility is in nearby Loveland.
I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Just got back home from that. Nice meeting you there.
This meeting was a little lighter in attendance than normal, probably due to the holiday weekend.

Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
I need to head up to Fort Collins some time for that meeting. Was at the new Denver coin/gem show tonight instead.
What was that show like ?
There is hardly any information about it that I can find.
Local coin clubs are one of the backbones of the hobby.
Congrats and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
P. S. Don't wait another 30 years until you attend your next meeting! LOL!

Many years ago I asked a well known, local advanced collector to speak to a local club in New Jersey. At first he said, "Oh their are just a bunch small collectors who aren't interested in anything but Lincoln pennies and Buffalo nickels." He spoke anyway, and when he was done he commented, "I really enjoyed it."
It's possible for collectors of all levels to get something out of the local club meetings. For me it's fun to introduce collectors to coins that they have never seen in person.
