Meetings & Events
Our regular events
At the Philatelic Society of Queensland, we play an active part in promoting the hobby in its many aspects. We pride ourselves on the breadth of our members’ philatelic interests.
Each month we enjoy presentations and talks from members or invited guests speakers on their interests. We also invite members to bring along interesting and rare items to share in our popular “Show and Tell” sessions. We run a raffle and light refreshments are available on the night for a coin donation.
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month, except for December, when we take our end of year break. Meetings are held at QPC House, 18 Coolcrest Street, Wynnum, Queensland, 4178. They start at 7.00pm. A map and basic directions to reach QPC House from the Gateway Motorway (M1) can be found on the Contact & Join page.
Typically, we start with a short business section when members hear of upcoming events and have their say in club matters. We are actively seeking to grow as a club.
An annual highlight is PSQ’s Open Day, usually in July, when philatelic items are available through auction, from invited dealers and from friends in other clubs. The PSQ bargain table is always popular. This lively event also sees the PSQ’s own Sheard Award competition for 15-page philatelic exhibits, assessed by accredited judges, as well as a 5-page competition judged by popular vote. We run door and raffle prizes at the Open Day.
PSQ is keen to participate at philatelic exhibitions; member displays are always seen at the annual Brisbane Stamp and Coin Expo, as well as at national exhibitions around Australia. A few of our members also exhibit internationally.
