The Smithfield Stamp Club Inc.
About Us
Founded in 1976, our members are drawn from all over the Cumberland District (Smithfield, Fairfield, Cabramatta and Liverpool). We are a member of the Philatelic Association of NSW Inc. (Philas).
We meet at the Brenan Park Community Hall at Smithfield on the 2nd Monday of each month. We have around 40 members with a regular attendance of 15 – 20 per month. Our monthly sale by tender is very popular with buyers and sellers, as we do not charge commissions.
A “Members Choice” competition judging 6+pages are held three times per year.
The Alex Marks Memorial Shield
Our monthly meetings include a raffle for a stamp album and occasionally entry tickets to Sydney ’s Taronga Park Zoo or Dubbo’s Western Plains Zoo. These are a benefit to the members from our sponsorship of a Red Kangaroo.
The attendance raffle is for an Australia Post Year Book awarded at the December meeting.
Sponsorship to financial members (after a qualifying period) is offered for entry for state or national exhibitions to the Bronze level.
The Philas Crown Agents collection is accessible for the benefit of our members along with any other material that they wish to view.
Don't forget to visit our Photo Gallery.
