Here’s information on the Canberra show. I think perhaps the only national show in Australia this year? I’m not aware of any PPS activity planned (as for myself, I’ll be in Greece then) – but, if anyone would like to suggest something, please feel free to reply to this post and see what response there is.

One of the most important aspects of stamp shows is the opportunity afforded to connect with fellow enthusiasts, experts and dealers in person.
While most of us trade and communicate online it is the interaction and personal connections made at stamp shows that facilitate and provide leads for new material and future purchase opportunities, as well as building friendships that will last a lifetime. Internet transactions are rarely memorable. In person connections and good times are!
Show visitors will be provided the opportunity to vote for the People’s Choice Award. This award is sponsored by Pacific Facilities Management, with the presentation of a special trophy. Your Award Entry form then gives you a chance to enter the People’s Choice Prize draw.

I know Canberra is advertising it as the “only National stamp show in 2024”, but this is not true. Toowoomba Stamp Club is hosting the National One-Frame Exhibition on October 12-13.

See https://www.toowoomba2024.com/

We are open to holding a PPS meeting on Saturday 12 for those members and other interested parties who may be present on the day. I’ve allocated a slot at 11am, but that is flexible.
