The club's name is "Félag
Frímerkjasafnara" which would translate something like Stamp
Collectors Club. It was founded 11th June 1957. The first
meeting was held at Tjarnarcafé at Vonarstrćti 10 and the number
of founders was 35. To day there are a little more
then 200 members, mostly from Iceland but also a few from
abroad. The main aim of the club is to create
interested in collecting and to give members
oportunity to trade stamps and to share their interest with
other collectors. To make this possible the Stamp Collectors
Club has open house every week (on Saturdays) and monthly seminars
during the winter time. Other activeties are
exhibitions, auctions and issuing firstday covers and
christmas labels, to mention just a few. |
