Camberley Postmark in the 19th Century. Now the club's logo. |
The club was founded in 1967 by collectors from Camberley, Surrey and Crowthorne, Berkshire. It meets 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 Tuesdays of each month. There a few exceptions at holiday times, no meeting on the 4th Tuesday of July and December and no meetings in August. We also meet on three Tuesday afternoons in January to March for a general get together.
Meetings are devoted to displays from members or visiting speakers. We have an annual quiz and an annual members' competition. Potential new members are always very welcome at any of our meetings.
In April each year we hold a Club Stamp Auction and we send out catalogues to individuals and local clubs. The next auction is on April 19th 2008 at the usual venue, the Morgan Centre, Wellington Road, Crowthorne RG45 7LD. In the 16 or more years that we have run these auctions we have sold some exceptional lots. Our top prices are £2,150 for a Cyprus cover of World War I and £1,000 for a GB First Day Cover (believed unique) of the KGVI Silver Wedding bearing the 2½d and £1 stamp sent registered from Windsor Castle. However there is something for all collectors as the minimum lot value is only £3. Click here for details For more information get in touch with John Pugh, click Contact Us
Our annual Stamp Fair will be held again at the New Owlsmoor Community Centre, Yeovil Road, SANDHURST, Berkshire, GU47 0TF on Saturday November 22nd 2008. Any dealer who would like more details of next year's Fair to be held on 22nd November 2008 should speak to our Secretary, Jack Davey, click Contact Us
A popular feature is the thriving 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. We are happy to accept books from non-members but we do prefer new books. However we will take ones that have been circulated to other clubs provided that they still have good content and are accompanied by some completely new books. For more details about the club rules click Club Packet Rules You can email or ring our Packet Secretary, Brian Hammans, see below.
The Club Annual subscription is £6 per annum and is due on the 1st January each year.
