Society History
Our Society has over 100 members with wide ranging
philatelic interests. It was formerly named the Kettering Philatelic Society
and was
a branch of the Northamptonshire Philatelic Society. The current Society was formed in 1999.
We meet on the first
Thursday of each month at
Seniors Section Meeting
Time:
If you are interested in
philately and would like to come along to a meeting then please contact me and
I can arrange with our Secretary to
meet you and then explain a little of our Society.
Stamp Boxes If
you also have an interest in receiving or providing Stamp books for our Stamp
boxes then again please contact me.
These boxes of books are
stamps that are placed for sale in boxes and passed around any of our members
who wish to receive them.
We are always looking for
different stamps and covers to buy and providing they are in the recognized
approval books and marked clearly
they can be submitted to our club. Please contact me at my e-mail address and I can put you in touch with our packet secretary.
Dealers Occasionally we have dealers attending our meeting. This gives us the opportunity to purchase philatelic material at reasonable prices.
Coach Trips We try
to organise coach trips to major Philatelic events. The cost to each
person normally just covers the expense of the coach
and any parking incurred at the venue.
Speakers We have speakers attending approximately twice a year the chat to us about about specific areas of philately.
Members Own Evening These are meetings where members bring in part of their own collections, chat or sell stamps.
Auctions Auctions
are usually quite a favorite evening with chances to bid for some excellent
auction lots. Our auctioneer is quite an expert at
the job and manages to sell quite a lot of good quality material over the evening.
Stock Shop Each
month our secretary sells philatelic items for the philatelist to use. These
range from tweezers through to stock books,
stamp hinges and catalogues.
Library Our
library is quite extensive and has been added to over the years. These
enable the members to borrow books without having to
go to the expense of having to purchase their own.
Watermark Detector
We have purchased a watermark detector for members use. This can be hired
for a small returnable deposit over an
agreeable set period of time.
Kettering Stamp & P.S. joined the Federation in 1995.
