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 first half of each meeting is an 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.

We have had an enjoyable year so far with a new member who is an expert on WW1 cards joining us. He has given us a very good illustrated talk & helped with family history too! We are at the same time, very sad that Derek Cox is leaving us for pastures new and we all wish him and Pat an easy move and a happy future in Staffordshire.
Our next programme is:
-
Sept 12th – Gill will lead with ‘Comic Postcards’,
-
Oct. 10th – Judy will lead with ‘Gardens’,
-
Nov 14th – Toby will introduce ‘Occupations’
-
December 12th, Andrew will amaze us with his collection of ‘WW1 Comics Postcards’
