Like most Clubs, we have elected some of our number to carry the can for the year! For

PRESIDENT     Mr Mike Hoey  01704 562896
SECRETARY    Mr Chris Leather  07767 820775
TREASURER    Mr Brian Kipps  01704 566003

For details of Membership, please contact the Secretary.

IF you are truly twenty-first century, you can of course send us an email. Please click on the manic monitor, below, or address your message to

clubmail(at)stampclub.info
 
Don't forget to use an '@' sign instead of (at) in the address. Hopefully, this way, we can keep the amount of spam down to a minimum.

Unfortunately we haven't yet developed electronic stamps....



....but at least the email system doesn't deposit large quantities of splodge all over the missives!


Links

However much we might regret it, we cannot put all the information on the Stamp and Postcard world on our website, but what we can do is put links to other websites where you will find interesting and useful information. Obviously, this list is not exhaustive, or we would be exhausted, but we hope you will find something of interest.

Our first link is to a fascinating site maintained by the North West Federation of Philatelic Societies, which sounds rather formal until you realise that there is a positive mine of information about philately, stamps and stamp collecting on the site, together with many useful links. We would love you to go there, but we don't want to lose you, so if you click on their logo below, a new window will open, and you will have the best of both worlds to choose from!

There is a website which brings together a considerable body of knowledge and information. It is www.ukphilately.org.uk It includes pages from the Association of British Philatelic Societies, and has articles of interest to specialists, and young collectors alike. There are lists of dealers' associations, the various stamp magazines which are published, and local and regional societies. Well worth a visit!

There are, of course, many collectors who specialise in postcards. Some of our best members are postcard collectors...and there is a website www.postcard.co.uk specially aimed at our cartophilic colleagues, sponsored by the Postcard Traders' Association. The site aims to supply information on all aspects of postcards to a wider audience. Whether you are looking for suppliers or printing services, or perhaps trying to find out about an old card, then you are as welcome there as the thousands of postcard collectors who visit the pages regularly. Click on the PTA logo below to go there!



One feature common to almost all used stamps is a postmark which, with a bit of luck, will tell the collector where and when the stamp was used, and frequently quite a lot more besides. Many collectors specialise on these obliterations and there is a society which brings together many collectors and much information: the British Postmark Society. They have a website. Click on their special mark below to go there!

If you've been there and done that, and come back again, hello! Perhaps we can take you to our home page? Click the stamp and hold on...
