| Welcome to the Australian Philatelic Federation Website |
Australia's national philatelic events calendar kicks off this Friday with Canberra Stampshow 2010
(12 - 14 March), the first of two part Nationals with Adelaide Stampex 2010
to be held in August.
Tip: if you're going
to Canberra Stampshow 2010, check out all the dealers
who will be attending. Why not drop them an e-mail before you leave
to let them know what you'll be looking for when you get there.
The domestic year winds up with the National One Frame class at Mandurah 2010 in Western Australia in November. Entries for the latter two shows are now being accepted. Plus there will be all the usual State and Regional interclub events.
On the international front, there are numerous opportunities to exhibit abroad with major exhibitions being held in New Zealand, London, Johannesburg, Bangkok and Lisbon - visit our exhibition timetable for more details.
