Two Monthly Meetings

Geelong Philatelic Society Inc. Meetings

We have meetings at two different venues each month.

Saturday Night Meeting

We meet at 7 pm on the first Saturday each month (except January) in the Virginia Todd Community Hall at 9-11 Clarence St Geelong West Vic 3218. Doors are open from 6.30 pm. On auction nights doors open at 6pm and viewing of the lots are available from 6.15 pm, see Calendar of Events for auction nights.

Our Saturday evening meetings usually attract around 25 members and visitors.

These are our more formal meetings, with club business kept brief so we can focus on enjoying our hobby. Then we can get down to the fun of perusing the circuit sheets in the hopes of adding to our collections. In general, we have sheets prepared by our own members, and also a number of circuit books, belonging to Brighton Philatelic Society members, available. This provides the opportunity to pick up good quality items for a fraction of the Catalogue Value. We sometimes have a guest speaker, mini or major auctions, or one of our members will present a display. The 6 page and 15 page competitions are held at these meetings. At the end of each meeting there is the opportunity for a cuppa and a chat.

Monday Afternoon Meeting

We meet at 12.30 pm on the third Monday each month (except December) in the Belmont Park Pavilion on the 1st Floor of 162 Barrabool Rd Belmont Vic 3216.

We generally have about 35 members and visitors join us for our Monday afternoon meetings.

Our Monday afternoon meetings are strictly informal. Any items of information will be passed on to those present, and then the circuit sheets are passed around. Most of the features of a Saturday night will also happen on a Monday with the exception of the Philatelic Quiz and the 1 page and 2 page competitions. A local dealer sometimes attends these meetings, There is also a cuppa and bikkies after this meeting.
