About Us
The Philatelic Society of Australia was first mentioned in journals in 18**. It went into recess about 1900, and it has held continuous meetings since 1911.
We offer the following services to our members: information, interesting displays, auctions at each meeting, competitions, Christmas luncheon and the only daytime weekday meeting in Sydney.
Library - We donated our library to The Philatelic Association of NSW (PHILAS) and our members can borrow from this extensive library.
Membership about 50 with attendance at each meeting being around 20.
