Exchange Evenings occur on the third Thursdays of each month at the Griffin Centre commencing at 6.30 p.m. Please check with the website, exchange meeting coordinator or Newsletter prior to the event to ensure that the meeting is proceeding.

Sales by tender nights (Auctions) are held at certain times of the year. Please refer to the program for dates. Members can access the new procedures & forms under the menu option MEETINGS.

Picture Postcards Group meetings share a fun and interesting look at this facet of collecting. Meetings are held monthly 2^nd Tuesday, at 7.45 pm in Room 8 (2^nd Floor) at the Griffin Centre. If necessary, meetings may be held by Zoom. Please check with the Postcard Coordinator a few days before the meeting for details of the meeting

Visitors are always welcome to the Society’s meetings and activities.

Griffin Centre Security System:

Access to the Griffin Centre after 6 pm is controlled by a security system. Members should use the intercom system to the left of the main entry to call the meeting room at which the meeting is being held: meeting room 9 on number 037 after about 6.30 pm (Display meetings), 023 for meetings in the clubroom (Postcards, Exchange Nights) or 035 for Rm 8 (Sales by Tender). You will need to verbally identify yourself to the answerer who can operate the door and give you access to the lift. The lift will only come to our floor in the Griffin Centre! You should not allow non philatelic attendees to enter the building - they need to call their own group for access. These numbers are on a list by the intercom to the left of the main entrance.
