West & Midlands Phillumenists |
| A society recently formed from the merger of the long-standing West & Midland Match label Society and the Midland Match Club.
We offer 2 meetings a year at Winchcombe (8 miles north of Cheltenham) at the beginning of July and about the third week in September and a meeting about the middle of May in Derby. (There are also some small gatherings of members in Derby at other times). The meetings sometimes include a exhibition of items concerning the hobby but the main interest is meeting collector friends in a friendly atmosphere when buying, selling and swapping of labels, boxes, hardware etc takes place. Members can have a free dealing table if booked in advance. An auction always takes place - usually at 2pm. There are usually a good variety of items available to cater for all interests of the hobby. The society also publishes The Matchbox 4 times a year, which endeavours to cater for all interests of members. Contribution of articles to the Matchbox is always welcome. There is a library available for members to borrow items as well as a pool of labels and boxes which are sold to help funds.
All this for a modest £5 annual subscription - Why are you waiting ?? Society Secretary Treasurer |
