Beginning 2014

Collecting by Eric McGrath

My story is not exciting or wonderment, just a beginning like all kids. I had a collection when I was a young child and at one stage got distracted away from it by other things. My mother gave me her collection and got my interest going again. My interest in Train stamps comes from the fact not that I worked in the area, but that I preferred to collect non-Australian issues so I decided on the trains. I have stamps from many countries and always remain on the lookout for ones which may be of interest– or the stamp that I haven’t had the pleasure of obtaining a copy.

PRESIDENT DAVES REPORT

　

WELCOME BACK to the stamp year of 2014. We hope you had a

great Christmas with family and friends and the New Year is kind

and healthy to all.

This year 2014, will be a busy year again for the club with displays,

travelling and getting ready for the 2015 100th anniversary of the landing

at Gallipoli.

Our Club exchange book system is working well and we have a lot of

positive feed back about the system. We have very good material for the

books. The exchange books will be made available to all members and

the public by contacting Ruth or Dave on 3288 7007 or email:

lothd@bigpond.com   By APPOINTMENT ONLY.

On behalf of all members I thank our Management Committee for their

hard work in 2013, and 2014 will be a busy year for the Committee.

Our Membership is increasing, with past members and new members

joining the Club, as we move forward these and other areas will also

improve.

Lets all come along and make our meetings fun, enjoyable as well as

support our fellow collectors in what will be a good year.

　

Happy Collecting
