What we do
The group is not just for collectors, but for those who may have inherited old cards, or saved those sent to them by friends and family. New members are welcome to join us at any time.
The group was recently started, and our first two meetings discussed publishers, artists and dating of cards. There are sheets available covering these areas.
The first half of the meeting will be examination and discussion of cards related to a chosen theme, and in the second half, we look at any cards which members choose to show us, either ones newly added to collections, or those newly discovered in old ones.
Occasionally we may attend postcard fairs sharing transport.
Reports

We are still finding more topics for postcards with some lively meetings. It is surprising what discussions ensue! We have a membership of eight at present, but could possibly take two more. Topics for the autumn are :
- 8th September- Countries beginning A-F
- 13th October – Flora
- 10th November – Fauna
- 8th December – Countries beginning G-L

March 2008
We were very sorry to hear of the death of our member Joyce Dean, who always brought her sense of humour and some wonderful cards to the meetings. She will be sorely missed.
In May we are looking at “Social History”, followed by “Castles” in June. We shall have a break in July and August, meeting again on September 8th.
