Welcome to our Home Page

The twenty-first century is all about communication, right? E-mail, multi-messaging, texting - it's how people interact. Funny thing is that, though the media have changed, nineteenth and twentieth century people communicated just as much, and just as enthusiastically, as we do today! And they have left us a rich heritage of the letters and cards which they sent each other. Through these, we can go back, and join them in a vanished world.

Southport Stamp & Postcard Club is the local Club for anyone with an interest in stamps, postal history, postcards, or almost anything to do with any of these. You don't have to be an expert. There aren't any rules about what you should or shouldn't collect. If it interests you, great. And if you'd like to share that interest with others, even better!

We meet about once a month. Sometimes we have visiting speakers, sometimes it is one of our own members, and sometimes we all have our own five minutes of fame. If you haven't been to one of our meetings, why not come to the next one? You'll find details of our upcoming schedule, and how to find us, on the Meetings page.
Let us know you're coming and we'll put the tea on! You know where to find us - we're at Contacts!

If you've come back after having been on the guided tour, we hope you have enjoyed it. If you haven't been yet, why not start with Stamps and go on to Postcards, or vice versa?
