Ringwood Philatelic Society Stamp & Postcard Fair
3 June 2000
Details of Ringwood Philatelic
Society here...
 
A total of 214 people attended the Stamp and Postcard Fair at Greyfriars,
organised by Ringwood Philatelic Society. The fair started at 10am, with many
keen collectors coming from Ferndown, Poole, West Moors and even Salisbury,
Southampton and Romsey. Those we spoke to were very pleased with their
purchases.
 
Chairman Colin Mount was seen to be enjoying himself with the company of
fellow collectors, having seen the energy he put into it in the last few months
he deserved to relax. Colin's wife Margaret assisted by Ann Hickman organised
the refreshments and kept pouring those teas and serving up bacon rolls. They
can be seen above at the end of the day before they began the task of cleaning
up.
 
Dealers attending the fair were: Bill Pipe of Magpie (Poole), Rod Baker
(Southampton), Michael Hale, PTS (Midsomer Norton), Tim Stephens of Emsworth
Philatelics (Emsworth), Mervyn Lavender (Southampton), Jim Paterson of Splendid
Stamps (Dibden Purlieu), Derek Fulluck (Devizes), Barry Phillips, Jack Davey,
Wayne Robbins and Bob McDonald.
The Committee will discuss the idea of staging another fair at the same time
next year. We wish them success and our thanks to Colin Mount for keeping us
posted (no pun intended!).
