ACtivities at our meetings
The benefits of joining a junior stamp club is the friendships each child makes plus the gathering of not just a stamp collection but also the collection of the knowledge of information behind the stamps which are issued.
After coming to the first meeting we also help all members obtain storage and caring utensils for their collections (we have tweezers, magnifiers, stock books and others items which we obtained cheaply and pass on the savings to the children).
Some activities at meetings include wordsearch and catalogue search games, stamp dominoes, stamp mastermind, stamp concentration and competitions.

About Us
Our club offers assistance with the collection of and information
about the hobby of postage stamp collecting. We also believe that with help
from our stamp collecting friends we can achieve a good balance of fun and
friendship in the bettering of our understanding
of our hobby.
Our membership ages range from 5 - 16 years, to some older members
who both enjoy as well as help educate the younger members (one our members
passed away at the young age of 75 years, he began by bringing his grandson
to one meeting and continued to come even after his grandson left our
juniors, joined the Navy and left Australia.)
We encourage parents to stay and learn what their children are
collecting and proceed as their children are progressing.
Once the child has experienced the fun of each meeting we also
encourage them to bring along a friend or friends so that they also can join
in the fun.
Our meetings are held close to a shopping centre so if the parents
want to buy anything for lunch or take their children out for lunch there is
plenty of places to go.
As our meetings are held at a stamp bourse we have ample adult
supervision at all times.
Yours in Friendship
Stephen Morris
