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 bourse and 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.
We have run an Autumn Stamp Fair for over 20 years. The next Fair is on Saturday 30th October at The New Owlsmoor Centre, Yeovil Road, Owlsmoor, Sandhurst, GU47 0TF. This year there will be a Room only Auction of 360 lots with some interesting collections and other lots.
In April each year we hold a Club Stamp Auction and send out
catalogues to collectors, country-wide as well as to local clubs. In 2011 our Auction takes
place at our usual venue, the Morgan
Centre, Wellington Road, Crowthorne RG45 7LD on Saturday 16th April.
In
the 20 or more years that
we have run these auctions we have sold some exceptional lots. Our top
prices are £2,150 for a stampless 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. For more
information get in touch with John Pugh, 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 £10 per annum and is due on the 1st January each year but
if paid by the end Frebruary it is reduced to £8 .
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS VERY WELCOME
