Boambee East Philatelic Society Inc.
About Us
Boambee East Philatelic Society Inc. (BEPS) is a vibrant new club on the NSW North Coast and visitors are most welcome. A newsletter will keep all country members in touch.
The first meeting was held in August 2009 and was well attended, with many driving long distances to meet with others and discuss their hobby.
There will be displays and activities on the night and anyone interested in joining this new club is invited to attend.
“2012 will be the year we put the building blocks for our future in place”
Through out the year juniors and seniors will work progressively on the Cinderella challenge and then the juniors move on to stage one, the web site challenge.
