I attend three stamp clubs in the northern San Francisco Bay Area, one in Marin County and two in Sonoma County. All welcome visitors and new members.
They are listed in meeting appearance during the month.
Santa Rosa Stamp Club, 1st Tuesday of each month, at the Finley Center, Cypress Room, West College Ave, Santa Rosa, CA. SRCC has a website. Holds auctions each meeting with material from members as well as donations and I am the member stuck doing that. Auction items start at $10 and items under $10 are placed, first come first served, on a sales table. In addition to the auction, there is usually a presentation. Current Topic is the 15 cent Large Banknote, which continues in March and April.
Tamalpais Stamp Club, 2nd and 4th Fridays starting at 7:30 pm at the VFW Hall 844 Sweetser, Novato, CA. TSC has a website. APS Circuit Books, US and Worldwide stamp auction by club (we [TSC] buy in bulk for discount and sell individual stamps and small groups to members via auction at a start price to break even). Members also bring material for sale. The club has been doing this for decades.
Redwood Empire Collector's Club, 2nd Sunday, 11:00 am during Standard Time (October, November, December, January, February and March), and 3rd Wednesday at 6 pm during Daylight Savings Time (the other months). This is to allow more folks to attend without night (dark) driving. This is a meal meeting (Standard Time, brunch; Daylight Time, dinner) with a presentation held at Cafe Bellini's, in a private room, 100 S McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, California. This club, RECC, has been and continues to be heavily involved with WESTPEX. There is a sale table at each meeting for members and donation material. We also conduct WINEPEX each October.
The first and last above have exhibitors of all levels and one Single Frame Champion of Champions winner (15 cent Webster Large Banknote). All have both novice and seasoned collectors.
Now a small reward for reading this far. I oversee the sales at some level at all three clubs. However, not everything sells. See Here:
