The annual West Coast Chapter Meet is a G&CICA organized event aimed at offering a regional opportunity for cast iron cookware enthusiasts to gather. The G&CICA organizes a national meeting and four regional meetings each year. Club members have been gathering in person for more than three decades at these meetings. A tremendous amount of value comes from these types of meetings.
These events provide you the opportunity to see lots and lots of cast iron and collectible cookware. These events connect you to many of the most serious collectors and traders. These events aim to educate on how to clean, how and what to collect, how to appraise, and how to identify differences in the collectibles. Only paying current club members are permitted to attend. We are happy to treat you as a guest the first time and are able to accept membership applications during meetings. Annual membership dues are $25 for a single, $30 for two at the same address, and $10 for a student.
Our annual West Coast Chapter Meet will be September 16th & 17th. Friday evening consists of a social hour and dinner, providing time to catch up with friends and talk iron. The evening will also allow time to tour Marg & Larry O’Neils home collection. Saturday will consist of multiple sessions; such as show and tell, Table topics, Chapter & club update, swap meet and a group lunch. Saturday will include access to The O’Neil Cast Iron Museum. The O’Neils hold a very large collection of all types of cast iron cookware, including many one of a kind pieces.
