About Us
We cater for young stamp collectors aged 10 - 18 from the wider Newcastle area and the Lower Hunter region.
Each school holidays, we have a day of stamp collecting activities. These include displays, stamp scavenger hunts, activities on the use of both "world" and "Australian" catalogues, informative talks, quizzes about covers and postmarks, prizes, give-aways, games (such as stamp dominoes, stamp bingo, philately heads, philately buzz) and auctions where you can only spend points that are earned on these days.
There are several "swap books" where you take out a stamp that you like and replace it with one of your swaps.
