ALL ABOUT US

WHAT TO EXPECTDISPLAYSWe usually have 6 to 8 guest speakers each season, they will display all aspects of philately on a wide range of subjects.
In addition to guests speakers club members also display a wide range of items from their own collections.AUCTION OR BOURSEWe also have an annual auction or bourse. The auction or bourse both provide an opportunity for club members to buy and sell, and a small percentage of sales goes to club funds.STAMP FAIRLast year the club re-introduced its Stamp Fair, which was very well supported by Stamp Dealers and buyers. We have planned another Stamp Fair for 2027 see details above.SOCIALISING
Club members can socialise, and display elements of their collection, and share their interests with others
REFRESHMENTS INCLUDEDA small annual subscription currently £10, helps to cover the hire of the hall, insurances, and refreshments. We usually have a Xmas get together, and at the start of the season a buffet is provided as part of "The Chairman's Evening".COMPETITIONS:
The society hosts its own competition for members who enjoy displaying parts of their collection, usually under specific themes or titles.

There is also the opportunity to progress to the Wiltshire Federation Competition — and perhaps even further into National Competitions.

CLUB or APPROVAL BOOKS
The club runs a healthy monthly circulation of approval books, with contents that are sensibly priced. These provide a great opportunity to acquire new material at bargain prices — all from the comfort of your own home.
