Welcome!

Welcome to Southampton and District Philatelic Society. We are one of the leading and most active societies in the area and seek to cater for everyone interested in stamps and postal history, whether they are experienced philatelists or collectors new to the hobby.

Our programme covers a diverse range of activities including twice monthly evening meetings with first class speakers, auctions, bourse evenings, competitions and a stamp packet circulation. There is also an afternoon meeting each month and a regular online video presentation.

We have a table at HAMPEX each year to meet members old and new. Our full programme may be seen by clicking the Meetings button on the left hand navigation bar.

Members receive Postmark which is published quarterly and contains news of local activities as well as our auction lists insert. In addition there is a busy exchange packet which circulates frequently giving members another opportunity to purchase items to add to their collections. We have an extensive library which is open to members on Tuesday club nights.

2024 is our 92nd Year with yet another year of bumper philatelic events as listed on our Meetings page.

Also see us on our public Facebook page.

If you are interested in collecting stamps, postal history or philately in general then you should consider becoming a member. If meetings are not for you, but you would like to participate in the auctions and the local packet circuit or to attend monthly zoom meetings, then that is just fine!
