The Barrie District Stamp Club

Chapter 73 of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada

Events

We have two special events: our Annual Show & Bourse, held in the Fall and our Annual Auction, held at our May meeting.

Stamp Show & Bourse

Our 62nd Annual Stamp Exhibition & Bourse was held last October and both collectors and dealers viewed it as a success. Exhibits are a popular and ongoing part of our bourse. Again, we had an Official RPSC judge to review the exhibits and provide feedback to our exhibitors.

Unfortunately, our 63rd Annual Stamp Exhibition & Bourse has been cancelled due to structural issues at our regular venue, the Stroud-Innisfil Community Centre located at 7883 Yonge St. A suitable alternate venue could not be found on short notice. The community centre, on the south-east corner of Yonge & Victoria streets in Stroud; should be available again in the Fall of 2027.

The show when held is on the 2nd floor from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and is open to the public. Elevator access is available. Our list of dealers attending this year will be published in 2027 In addition to the dealer material our Club Sales Circuit offers a wide variety of well-priced items.

We welcome everyone to our Bourse, experienced collector to neophyte. We are sure you will find something of interest among the dealers and exhibits. Please drop in to say hello, make our acquaintance and maybe find something of interest.

Annual Auction

Our annual auction occurs at our regular May meeting from 13:30 to 15:00. Our next auction will be held on Thu  13 May 2027, at the East Bayfield Community Centre on the 2nd floor. As always, it will showcase a wide range of philatelic material. There is something to interest almost any collector. We welcome all people, both members and the general public.
