To be held on the Wednesday & Thursday prior to the opening of the International Exhibition, it will be an excellent curtain raiser. Make sure you have the dates in your diary, even at this early stage.
There will be upwards of 100 Dealers with stands, buying and selling Philatelic material. Tables and chairs at the stands will make for comfort.
You can buy or sell, get valuations or just browse and see what the hobby is all about.
There are likely to be various specialist society meetings during the show to which everyone is welcome, whether member or not.
There is a bar for alcoholic drinks plus a full self service restaurant serving hot and cold meals, open during the day.
