UK Sucrologists Club

The November 2019  issue of the UKSC newsletterm which is our 100th, has been added to the members’ area of thewebstie along with new finds packets, sets and so on.

See the page for content and members' area for the newsletter and packets.

When packets are added to the SUGARCAT database they are not usually mentioned on the updates pages but there is a page in the members’ area that shows links to all batches added.

Since the beginning of 2019 there have been over 1,000 packets added.

The May 2019  issue of the UKSC newsletter was added a few weeks ago along with additions to the database etc.

See the page for content and member’s area for the newsletter and packets.

Details added for the October EGZ Exchange Meeting in Germany. Includes the brochure and English booking form.

Over the last few days nearly 200 packets have been added to the SUGARCAT databse. Most of these are scans of lump wrappers from Pam Miller’s collection.  This is in addition to more than 100  lump wrappers added in November.  See the “Added” page for a list of the batches of additions and links to show each.

When lump wrappers have been added the Tate and Lyle numbers list has also been updated.  The master version of this list is compiled by Pam Miller but it is hoped that the online list is consistent with it.  There 1,501 numbers which are known and 1,262 of these can be seen on the database. We do not know the wrappers for 1,077 other numbers though some of these must be wrappers on the database but with no number printed on them. In total there are 2,005 Tate and Lyle lump wrappers on the database. 

Twenty packets submitted by Mike Henley from a donated collection

The 2018 UKSC Exchange meeting will be held on Saturday 6th October 2018 at Gorse Hill Baptise Church Swindon.

Further details can be found here.

The brochure is avaiable to download.

Bookings can be made online here.

I have finished adding to the website a large numbe of Tate and Lyle wrappers. These came from the collection of the late Joan Pick and were scanned by Don Collishaw.

In total there were 835 wrappers more than doubling the the number of wrappers on the SUGARCAT database.  There are now over 12,000 packets on the database.

A large number of these wrappers have reference numbers on and were listed as “missing” on the online version of Pam Millers list of T&L design numbers. The list has been updated such that there are now more known than missing, although I will need to check the online list against Pam’s  verions once she had finsihed upating it.

To access the database and wrappers list you need to be a member.

Another batch of 126 lump wrappers have been added to the SUGARCAT database. This is in addition to an earlier batch of 27 wrappers.

All have been scanned and sent by Don Collishaw from the collection of the late Joan Pick.  many of them have been previously listed as “missing” on the Tate & Lyle numbers list maintained by Pam Miller and will be included in the forthcoming newsletter, or the subsequent one. The online list has also been updated.

See the added page for a link to these two batches.

There are a lot more wrapper scans sent by Don that are still to be processed and added.
