Philatelic Specialists Society of Canada

November 2021

Winter is upon us, at least in the Barrie area, with traces of snow over the last few days. A good time to stay indoors and catch up on your stamping.

Our monthly ZOOM meetings continue to be a tremendous success with more members attending than our face-to-face meetings at the Greene Foundation.

The great thing about ZOOM is it allows members from all over to attend, enjoy and participate. This past meeting our newest member Gary Watson from Australia was able to attend. Now that saves a lot of airfare!

Our Annual General Meeting is rapidly approaching being held on Wednesday December 8th. Year-end reports will be given from each member of the executive. This will be followed by our annual one frame competition. The entries are posted on the website for viewing at your pleasure. It will be an interesting evening so please plan to attend.

ORAPEX 2022 is on the horizon with plans from their committee well underway. The dates and location have been changed to the Nepean Sportsplex April 23-24. We will participate with our Annual PSSC Breakfast on the Sunday morning. Leo Beaudet will be our speaker with a presentation titled The Philatelic Scene during the Admiral Era. Tickets will go on sale in January and like always there is a limited number so get yours early not to be left out.

CAPEX 22 is just over six months away and many volunteers will be needed to man Society tables. Don’t wait to be asked. Step up and volunteer.

Bob Vogel - President
