Visitors of all philatelic abilities and interests are always welcome to Barnsley Philatelic Society (BPS), which usually meets at the Friends (Quakers) Meeting House on the corner of Western Street and the Huddersfield (A635) Road, S70 2BP. on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of the month (September to July inclusive) at about 7.00pm. The what3words address is: rice.points.visit

 

If you wish to contact BPS it may be better (more efficient and timely) to email – life.draw@btinternet.com – rather than via Facebook messenger. I will then pass on your request to any relevant contacts. It may help if you let us know the area in which you live (if not your actual address) and a telephone number, thank you.

 

WAKEFIELD PHILATELIC SOCIETY

You might like to know that (our neighbour) Wakefield Philatelic Society meets on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month (September to June inclusive, and occasionally during Summer), at Thornes Juniors Football Club, Queen's Drive, WF5 9BX (what3words address: refilled.blaze.hoops). They also continue to have occasional Zoom sessions.

 

Please note that this syllabus may occasionally be updated if there are changes due to unforeseen circumstances
