Val Mayers spoke to the group about Varieties this week. She brought lots of examples of varieties, as well as the tools she uses. She passed around stamps and UV lights and participants were actively searching for missing colours and irregular perforations. Val’s enthusiasm for the topic was contagious. At one point someone called out « Doughnuts! Please show us doughnuts! » 

Val also provided a brief overview of the club’s youth program. Guest speakers like Val certainly do a great job promoting the club, making it sound like a fun place to spend a few hours with friendly people.

There is just one week left in the program. For the first time, we are having a panel of five members sharing the story of their collecting journey.
