• We gather around 7pm for an informal catch-up and chat with the short, formal meeting starting at 7:30pm.
• After the formal part, there are opportunities for learning, chatting, adding to your stamp collection and more.
• We meet at the Eastwood Leisure Complex, 20 Eastwood Street, Ballarat (directly behind Woolworths Supermarket)

New members are most welcome.

Our major activities also include hosting 2 stamp fairs each year. One is held on the Monday of the Labour Day holiday in March and the other is on the 2nd Sunday of October. Club members and dealers come to provide stalls and displays of interest to the public. Our fairs are well attended and popular with local collectors.
