Every member who joins the National Horse Brass Society will receive one of our numbered year brasses, the design of which, is voted on by members with the winner announced at the AGM. When the design choice is finalised these brasses are then manufactured in Walsall by a firm headed by Alison Garbett, the daughter of the late, Terry Keegan who was the founder member of the NHBS. Indeed, each brass is stamped on the reverse with the individual members own number, which, in its own way, makes each brass unique, and therefore personal to that member. Some of the longer standing members have built up cherished collections of brasses bearing their unique number.

The voting for the annual membership brass is open to NHBS members only who may send their votes by email, post, telephone or in person at the AGM. We just need your name membership number and the brass design number of your choice.

We all know the subscriptions are due on the 1st January each year and many are indeed paid before that date. These brasses will then be sent to George Willett who will post them out during the first week in February. Any subs paid after that date the brasses will be numbered with a felt tip pen prior to sending out. The brasses will be sent out in three batches, February March and April. These changes are necessary to enhance our carbon footprint and assist in protecting the Society finances
