Description
The Canadian Corkscrew Collectors Club ("CCCC") was founded in the Spring of 1981. An enthusiastic group of corkscrew collectors who belonged to a Canadian Wine Club, answered the advertisement placed in their magazine, the Wine Tidings. Dave Dakers who was living in Ottawa at the time called his fellow Opimian Society members together to form an organisation to foster and promote further interest in this "twisted" hobby. From this innocent beginning of the CCCC club membership has grown from the initial group of 15 to more than 270 by 1999. Membership is Growing each year and in addition to about 30 Canadians the Club now has adherents in most European Countries and elsewhere covering about 30 Countries altogether. Annual membership fees are $48.00 U.S. Membership is open to anyone, anywhere in the world, whether they have two or two thousand pieces in their collection. Interest in corkscrews is the only criteria. For membership application see sidebar. The CCCC has operated very successfully all through the years without even a Constitution or rules of any kind. Corkscrew lovers come and have a great time. All the administration consists of the Newsletter editor and the membership Chairman who looks after collecting the dues that is spent on publishing the Quarterly Worme.
