The Isle of Wight Postcard Club
Founded 1992
Welcome to our website!
Club Meetings
The club was formed over ten years ago to provide a forum for Postcard Collectors.
We meet 5 times a year on (generally) the first Tuesday of the months of February, April, June, October and December,
in the Parish Rooms in Town Lane, Newport, starting at 7:30pm till 9:30pm.
We also hold an annual Postcard Fair at the same venue, this year on 14th August, which attracts dealers from the Island
and mainland.
Each meeting is centred around a talk on a subject that may or may not be directly linked to Postcard collecting,
but is hoped to be of interest to a wide variety of people. A number of Postcard dealers are normally present,
and there is an opportunity for people to socialise and discuss related issues. Everyone is welcome to attend
any of the meetings, including visitors from the mainland who wish to show their collection on any subject or
are looking to sell their unwanted IOW material.
Please telephone 01983 525529 for further details.
Membership
We are keen to welcome new members to the club. The annual subscription includes free entry to any of the
meetings through the year and regular newsletters. The annual subscription rate is £7.00, but we also offer a £2.00 per
evening fee for visitors or those who choose not to become members. The Treasurer will be pleased to accept your annual
subscription or meeting fee.
