July Update
We had our final meeting before the summer break on June 24th. We've had a busy spring session. Sadly one of our members, Michel Giroux, passed away in April. Michel had requested that Tom Craig disperse his collection so Tom has been working hard to sell and auction it off, with proceeds going to Michel's wife, Holly. Tom has been auctioning the collection at Stamp Club meetings and special auctions held at The Hampton Inn & Suites Saint John, 51 Fashion Drive. Tom has advised that he will beholding another Auction on the 14th of July, also at The Hampton Inn & suites.
Otherwise we had our usual enjoyable meetings with auctions, quizzes, 50-50 draws etc and look forward to meeting again in September on the third Wednesday (Sept 16th)
In the meantime, a Stamp Swap has been organized for Sunday, July 19th, from 1pm to 4 pm, at The Saint John Public Libray, Central branch in Conference room 3 (2nd Floor)
It is open to the public, so hopefully we may attract collectors who aren't members of the club.
The intention is to have collectors bring any stamps they would like to trade, give away or even sell. Collectors can work out between themselves if they want to trade one-for-one, by catalogue value, or whatever.
We also intend to have a few short presentations on Stamps and Stamp collecting. If anyone is interested in giving a short presentation they would be welcome to (short being the key word)
The Swap will be taking place in Conference room #3, which is quite large and has tables, microphones and a large screen that laptops can be connected to for presentations.
If you would like to give a presentation please let Steve know ahead of time at stephen.mccavour@gmail.com or 506 693 0035
Market square has a large underground parking lot (paid parking) and on Sundays parking uptown in Saint John is free. Also, There is an elevator from the parking Garage to the first floor of the Library and another elevator from the 1st floor to the second floor of the Library. Conference room #3 is on the second floor of the Library
I have sent an invitation to The Moncton and Fredericton Stamp clubs, and also have contacted Chris McFetridge and Rob Lennox to ask for their help in promoting the event. Both have indicated interest and Rob has already promoted it a t the start of this video: That Dad Guy
Hopefully we'll see you there!
