J65 The Camberley
Postmark in |
The club was founded in
1967 by collectors from
Camberley, Surrey and Crowthorne, Berkshire.
We meet at 7.30 p.m. in Camberley
at St. Michael's Church Hall, London Road, Camberley, GU15 3JP (at the junction
of the A30 with Frimley Road) on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. There
are a few exceptions at holiday times - no meeting on the 4th Tuesday of July
and December and no meetings in August.
Meetings are devoted to displays
from members or visiting speakers. We have an annual quiz and an annual members'
competition.

new members are always very welcome at our meetings. |
In April each year we
hold a Club Stamp Auction and send out catalogues to collectors
country-wide as well as to local clubs. Our next Auction will be
held at our usual venue, The Morgan Centre, Wellington Road,
Crowthorne RG45 7LD on Saturday 29th April 2017. We aim to have a wide variety
of material in each auction.
In the 28 or more years that we
have run these auctions we have sold some exceptional lots. Our top
sale was £2,150 for a stampless Cyprus cover
concerning the supply of mules to the Army in Serbia in World War I.
Another good lot fetched £1,000 for a GB First Day Cover (believed unique)
of the 1947 KGVI Silver Wedding issue bearing both the 2½d and £1 stamp. The
cover was sent registered from Windsor Castle.

Auction get in touch with Jim Evans - his email address and phone

A popular feature has
always been our Club Packet.
The packet consists of booklets containing priced material from a wide
selection of countries. Buyers remove the stamps they want and sign the
resulting empty space. Booklets are available for members to sell any stamps
they no longer require. The packet is circulated by hand between the members so
no postal charges are incurred.
Unfortunately, the
current Packet Secretary has had to resign and we are currently seeking a
volunteer to take over this important club activity.
The Club Annual subscription is £12 per
annum and is due on the
1st January each year,
but, if paid by the end of February, it is reduced to £10.
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS VERY WELCOME
