UPDATED CCGB - Cartoonists' Club of Great Britain

I've looked before at the Cartoonists' Club of Great Britain (CCGB) and some of the material that is out there for collectors. 

Today's update is a look at the 1965 cartoonists club dinner & ball. An event so grand that the prime minister spoke at it!

All images are sourced from this large format (approx. A4) sized, about 80 page brochure. It's rammed with trade adverts & stuff so I've just picked out the most comic-y pages



The actual Prime Minister talking to a bunch of cartoonists!

Check out that fancy food that cartoonists eat!


Its a pretty strong list of winners...Leslie Illingworth, Harry Bishop, Frank Dickens, Reg Smythe, Osbert Lancaster, Jak, Larry







There's a members handbook herehere and here

The book 'It's all here in black and white' is here

22nd annual birthday lunch is here

Since then I've come across further items that the club produced...

This was produced in 1964 (the club was formed in 1960)

This was produced (originally) in 1963 as British Cartoonists Year Book 1964 - this edition was published in March 1965

These were from a 1979 flight to New York


This was produced in 1989...
