A Practical Demonstration of Dial Matting by Keith Davis <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual this meeting will be a two-stage event. Firstly, there will be the AGM which will be followed by Keith Davis who will be giving us a practical demonstration of Dial Matting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in the newsletter sent to members last month\n(not on the website) our AGM will be a little different this year as we are to\nelect a new President. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, in addition to the normal committee member\nelections (with the exception of the Chairman who was elected for a two-year\nterm last year) the position of President will also be voted on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we are a branch under the umbrella of BHI at Upton Hall please\nremember to vote at the AGM you must be a member of both our Branch and the BHI\nat Upton Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the elections there will be the normal\nreports from the Chairman, Treasurer, Workshop Committee Chairman, Webmaster,\nand of course the opportunity for all members of the branch to raise any\nquestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith Davies is a highly respected horologist working in the\nMaidstone area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally apprenticed as a jewellery\/silversmith he became interested in horology and later apprenticed to the late Peter Bonnett. In the 1970s, there formed a bond between these two clockmakers even though Peter’s business was compulsory purchased by road building scheme in Maidstone. Keith started working for himself many years ago extending his garage and converting this into his workshop. Keith has worked for many of the members of the trade and private customers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1987 he partook in the clockmakers company exhibition\nexhibiting a fine Shelton table regulator which he had made in conjunction with\nhis friend Mr Moon, the collaboration produced more than one unusual timepiece\nincluding a replica wall regulator by Francis Crowe of Faversham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith has always been very interested in animals and if you\nvisited it was no surprise to find the latest acquisition of a barn owl in the\ngarden aviary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work is always of the highest quality and his abilities include making watch cases, detent\u2019s, wheels pinions and finally pierced hands to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
