Telford fair offers treasure trove for stamp and card collectors

The Telford Stamp and Card Club is holding its third fair of the year on Saturday (July 11), from 10am to 2pm at Belmont Hall, Wellington.

Around 10 dealers will be attending, offering a wide range of stamps from almost every country, along with various themes and other philatelic items. There will also be a specialist coin dealer and a specialist dealer in cigarette cards, other small cards and ephemera. A selection of postcards will also be available.

Collectors are invited to come along and browse the wide range of items on offer, with plenty of opportunities to find something of interest. There will also be a stall promoting the local stamp and card club.

Anyone who is coming to the end of their collecting journey, or who has been left a collection and needs advice on what to do with it, is welcome to bring items along and ask for offers. Collections can also be donated to charity by speaking to Karl at the fair.

The Telford fairs are known for their friendly atmosphere, with club members and dealers happy to chat, answer questions and offer help to anyone who needs assistance.

The nearby Wellington town centre offers a good range of local shops and eateries, along with an indoor and outdoor market, making it an enjoyable visit for non-collecting members of the family too.
