This years Sponsors, Lawrence Lo, Mark Hoffman and myself hereby announce the 2011 New York Toy Soldier Symposium:

Sorry for the late announcement this year, but putting this one together, in this tough financial environment, has been a bit more difficult. Yes, there will be a 7th Annual NY Toy Soldier Symposium on March 11th, 12th and 13th.

The Friday and Saturday night events are already booked up. The attendees of those events have been personally contacted by Larry Lo and myself.

The Saturday Afternoon and Sunday events are open to those wishing to attend (please post your intention on this thread, so Mark Hoffman and I can take into account the numbers attending when ordering food for the luncheons).

The manufacturer guests this year will be Richard Walker of William Britains and Ken and Erika Osen of Hudson and Allen Studios. There may also be a much more important author in the Toy Soldier field than I.

The events are (as usual) as follows:

Friday Evening, March 11th: Opening Dinner at my Club, Tiro A Segno (fully booked)

Saturday March 12th, 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. - 450 Bryant Avenue, Roslyn, NY - Luncheon and Tour of My collection with presentations/talks/demonstrations by Richard Walker and Ken Osen

Saturday Evening, March 12th - Dinner at Lawrence Lo's magnificent restaurant Tse Yang (fully booked)

Sunday March 13th, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. - Hoffman Management
300 West 55th Street, Suite 2S, New York, New York - Luncheon and Tour of the Incredible Mark Hoffman Collection (easily twice as big as my collection, one of the most incredible collections of virtually all manufacturers, glossy and matt, in all eras and areas, with a focus on artillery (if a toy soldier company made a canon in the last 100 years, you can be pretty sure its on display)

Additionally, as some of the guests may be coming early and leaving late, there will be tours of other area collections and other ad hoc events.

For those not already booked, we hope to see you Saturday and Sunday for Lunch!

Thanks again for the toys and look forward to seeing you soon. All the best, Lawrence
 
Very nice collection Lawrence. Can I ask in the last set of photos, the middle photo, is it Britains? Do you have a set number or description?

Thanks

Scott
