HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . . .

In April 1999, a group of six collectors from the Vysočina region organized a three-day exhibition in Jihlava together with the stock exchange. The subject matter was hockey cards, jerseys, pucks and photographs. The interest was great, over 400 interested parties visited the event, mainly collectors from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Several invited hockey players also participated, giving autographs to interested parties. It was the first event of a similar nature organized in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Interestingly, the organizing team never met again in the same composition, but it was the impetus for the birth of the "Collectors' Meeting", which has been held regularly, with internat. participation, since 2000 in the settlement of Zalesi by the banks of the Zelivka River.
