STAMP COLLECTING
IT’S A HOBBY THAT CAN GROW AND GROW
Millions of people of all ages enjoy a hobby, which is both interesting
and fun. And every year, more and more people start, a stamp collection of
their own and discover an interest which can last a life time. Starting your
collection is easy because stamps are everywhere. Holiday postcards from
friends, birthday cards from favorite aunts and letters from pen-friends can all
provide you with stamps from all over the world. But once you’ve started
collecting seriously, you will probably want to join the Stamp Collectors' Club,
which exists to provide collectors with new British stamps.
As a Club member you order the special sets of new stamps you want
for your collection. You can receive these in three different ways. We can
either post you a complete set of stamps on an envelope addressed to you, or
send you the same stamps in a colorful information pack with lots of
interesting facts. Or, if you prefer, we can send you the individual stamps for
you to arrange in a special book of your own.
The Stamp Collectors' Club has about 70,000 members and you could
become a member too, with a two-year membership costing just f.5. You can
even get a reduction if a group of you joins at the same time. We're sure you’ll
agree that, this is great value for money.
And when you join, the Club sends you a Starter Pack at no extra cost.
This contains 100 stamps to begin your collection, together with an attractive
box to keep them in. You also receive our helpful 4-page guide to collecting,
which has further suggestions on how to add to your collection and includes
useful addresses of shops and businesses that sell stamps.
Every two months you’ll get a copy of the club magazine, which is
packed full of competitions and quizzes, and gives you the chance to
exchange stamps with members around the world,
Why not start on an adventure, which will give you years of pleasure?
You’ll spend many happy hours looking at the amazing variety of stamps in
your collection or searching for unusual ones, which you know are out there
somewhere just waiting to be found. So join the Stamp Collectors' Club today
and discover the fun and excitement of stamp collecting.
To join the Club simply complete the application form and send your
membership fee. Your Starter Pack will be sent within 28 days of receipt of
your application.
