Our regular meetings will resume Thursday 11 Sep 2025 upstairs at the East Bayfield Community Centre. Our meetings are free of charge and open to the general public.

Greetings!

Welcome to our website. Drop by to a regular meeting. Chat with our members to discover the interesting and educational hobby of stamp collecting.  Make new friends and learn more about our hobby in an informal, friendly environment. Members, in addition to meeting with like-minded hobbyists, also sell, buy or trade items for or from their collection.

Stamps come in various shapes and sizes and indeed are not always made of paper. They are the world’s greatest picture chronicle detailing: people, places, art, architecture, animals, flags, monuments, cars, planes, ships, propaganda, landscapes, and much more.

Collections are easily tailored to a person’s interests. There is no right way or wrong way to collect stamps.  People may be seeking a new hobby or reviving  one they enjoyed as youngsters. Youngsters are discovering a retro-chic hobby (stamp collecting) their Grandparents knew well. Collecting can be inexpensive; yet bring a life-time of enjoyment and learning to the collector.
