Welcome to the Australian Stamp Study Group. Our first meeting will be held Wednesday September 3rd starting at 1pm (ending at 3pm) at Edith Rankin Memorial Church. We are on Bath Road near Collins Bay Road. Main Floor entrance, easy parking and washrooms on the mail floor as well.
All are welcome. This is an open discussion forum.
This first meeting we will be reviewing the History/Philatelic Album Pages for the States. (Everyone will receive a copy of the album pages for each state.) The first colonizers were convicts from GB. The small colonies literally started from scratch.
We then turn to the Commonwealth of Australia (the 7 states join together to form this commonwealth). There is plenty of history and philatelic discussion in the start up. The Kangaroo and Map Series and the King George V Series are large and complex. In order to fully understand these issues I have assembled excel files that provide all the details based on the currency rate of the stamp.
There are stamps for sale and extras the attendees are willing to share.
Fee is $20.00 for this session.
Hoping to see your comments here. You are most welcome to join with us.
