Cairns Stamp Club
January 8th, 2008 Posted in Links
“Cairns Stamp Club was originally formed on 13 September 1935, when a group of around 14 people went to Norton’s Cafe on Abbott Street to discuss stamps and listen to one another’s lecturettes and displays. This group met every month, seldom missing a meeting and came from as far a field as Babinda. Each person would bring pieces from their collections spanning the globe, with the collectors corresponding with societies in places such as Pretoria, Israel, Egypt and France.”
Alan Sparks, the Club Secretary has written on a variety of philatelic subjects. We are proud to publish his article “Australian 1932 Postal Stamp Forgeries” on this website.
