Hey folks!
If you're on or near Vancouver Island this month, specifically Victoria, you could do worse than spending a few hours at VicPEX, the annual exhibtion put on but the Victoria Stamp Club.
We run four shows per year, but this is the official VicPEX show, which I'm told is the best for exhibits and displays. We also have 9-10 stamp and postcard dealers from Vancouver Island and the lower mainland.
Tagging in clivel and capejack in case you feel like heading south on the 24th.

Thank you for the invitation. I'm not sure I'd ever find myself in Victoria in November though. I do have a sister-in-law who lives in the Gulf Islands but my wife and I tend to travel there in the spring. Perhaps I might tie a visit in to attending one of your club meetings though. Are visitor's welcome to participate in your local club auctions?

Hey TimG, if you're ever out this way, please reach out and if the timing works out, come to a club meeting too. I'll double check when you arrive, but I don't believe there's an issue with guests bidding in the auctions. I'm sure I've seen it happening before. We also have a spring show, so maybe that might line up too. |

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it  The constant back and forth travel between the island and the mainland is playing havoc with my stamping activities.
Hopefully, I will get a full report back from capejack and with a bit of luck might even get to see a preview of his display before he leaves. Clive
