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.

November 2009
We have lost one member and gained another, so are pretty full with eleven now. However, it is a rare meeting when nobody is on holiday or ill, so we could possibly have one more if required. We continue to involve members introducing their topics, after which we all plough in!
The topics for the following months are:

Our post Christmas dinner will be on 22nd February at Deja Vu again by popular consent.
