Poll Question:
Just after posting another thread about trying to get younger people to join stamp clubs I was wondering what the average age of the people that collect stamps . I mention that people are usually very busy with school , collage and family life and most people seem to have collected when they were younger as kids and return to collecting after all the dust of life dies down. I am 40 and believe the vast majority of active collectors are over 40. So just vote over 40 or under 40 and I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK OUT THE %

Choices:
UNDER 40 yrs
OVER 40yrs

(Anonymous Vote)

I decided to interpret the first category as "40 and under" so that I didn't have to tick the "over 40" box, having turned 40 a few weeks ago
Sorry if this messes up your statistics, but it made me feel better
