The earliest meetings were mainly "swap" sessions but by Easter 1968 we had formed a Committee and arranged meetings for the remainder of that season. A full programme for 1968-69 was prepared with the usual items of Auctions, Quiz, Club Competition, Letter "A", "B", etc. The numbers present at meetings were usually 15-18 with a total of some 30 on the Packet List, started by Harry Leighton in September 1968.   It was in 1968 that "P.J." Elkins gave his first display to us on the theme of "Christmas".

To commemorate the 40 years the club held a celebration in July, 2008 to which past and present members were invited. In all over 60 people came and had an enjoyable evening. The welcome was given by the current Chairman, Tim Usher and the Anniversary Address was from the President, Eric Harris. Eric was there on day one and has great memories of his years with the club.

A very extensive buffet and refreshments were served followed by a toast, proposed by Tim Usher to "The Members". Tim also took the opportunity to voice the Club’s appreciation of Jack Davey, our Secretary, and the substantial efforts Jack makes on behalf of the club. Eric Harris proposed a toast to "The Club" and he looks forward to another 40 successful years.

There were displays from members of the “favourite sheet” in their collection plus a selection of photos, programmes and newspaper cuttings from the extensive club archive. To close the evening everyone was presented with a copy of the 1968 - 2008 Commemorative Brochure.
