Meetings

Our group meets on the last Wednesday of each month except December in the meeting room at the eastern end of the church hall behind St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church at 59 Dornoch Terrace, West End which is centrally located in Brisbane just south west of the city centre.  Meetings start at 7:30pm. The format of each meeting usually involves a discussion of business, then a presentation on a card related topic usually as a digital slideshow followed by refreshments and informal mingling. Cards are often brought along for trade, sale or just to be shown off and the lots from our bi-monthly postal auction of 100-200+ lots are available for inspection. Unsold lots are available for direct purchase at the reserve price at the meeting following the auction.  Members have access to a large library of reference books and journals.

Visitors who wish to attend to see how we operate are welcome.

**One off change of meeting date: 1:30pm, Sunday 26 October 2025 instead of 29 October**

Our membership is mainly from within the state of Queensland but also includes people in most of the other states of Australia and several overseas countries.  Our sister club is in Washington Crossing, PA, USA.

Queensland is one of the six states in Australia, and the northernmost on the eastern coastline. The main population base is in Brisbane, the state's capital city, which is situated in the state's south east corner.  Brisbane is a popular tourist destination and the city hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1982, Expo in 1988, the Goodwill Games in September 2001 and is scheduled to hsot the Olympic Games in 2032. It has been voted as Australia's most liveable city.

All forms of card collecting are popular hobbies throughout Australia. There are some full time and a number of part time dealers in cards in most states of Australia but not many have retail premises. They often attend dedicated card fairs which are held regularly in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and/or more general collectibles fairs and swap meets throughout the country.  Postcards and sometimes cigarette and trade cards can usually be found at philatelic and coin fairs and may be included in philatelic and antique auctions.
