Meeting Activities
PSC Meeting Activities
During our Poway Stamp Club monthly meetings, we enjoy discussing club matters and welcoming a special guest speaker. Afterwards, members often have the fun opportunity to buy, sell, or trade stamps and other philatelic treasures. Usually, there's also a voice sale, adding excitement to the gathering. On certain occasions, we even offer our members access to APS Circuits, making each meeting a wonderful chance to connect and share our passion for stamps.
Our welcoming community includes Philatelists of all experience levels. If you've acquired a collection—whether purchased or inherited—and feel unsure about its evaluation, our friendly members are always ready to help you out.
Our Club offers members the chance to check out Scott Catalogs, making it easy to explore together. We also love welcoming guest speakers to our meetings, where they share fascinating philatelic topics that everyone can enjoy.
Join us and enjoy a club that supports you and your hobby.
