The Association of Scottish Philatelic Societies Founded in 1924 |
The Association of Scottish Philatelic Societies (ASPS) is a collection of local societies from throughout Scotland whose aim is to further the study of Stamps, Postcards and Postal History. ASPS is formed by each society nominating a delegate who attends up to 3 meetings per year on their society's behalf.
There are currently 43 local societies throughout Scotland of whom 9 are specialist societies and who have meetings throughout most of the year. If you are interested in joining a society have a look at the affiliated society page of the website to see where your local society is and whats on.
Each year the association organises a National Exhibition (commonly called Congress), usually in April, at which a number of dealers attend in order that philatelists can purchase items and also to display their collections, either competitively or non-competitively. Congress is hosted each year by a different society and that society usually produces a cover and/or postcard specifically for the occasion.
Full details of all societies affiliated to ASPS and details of all Congresses past, present and future can be found on the website.
The 91st Congress will be held at the
Dewars Centre, Perth on
16th - 17th April 2021.
The Host Society will be:
Kirkcudbright Philatelic and Postcard Society
&
Dumfries Stamp and Postcard Club
The Caledonian PS decided to encourage members to produce booklets that might attract
new recruits to Philately. These were intended for a target audience of those around retiral age.
The four booklets that resulted only cover a fraction of the endless possibilities for involvement in
stamp collecting but have now been issued to local libraries and other public venues in and around
Glasgow. Other societies are welcome to use the material or adapt it to their needs.
Printed copies can be obtained for free from the Caledonian PS Public Relations Officer Sandy Kerr.
