To improve our knowledge of our hobby the Club is going to ask for speakers at 5 meetings. They will take 5 to 15 minutes to talk about an aspect of collecting that they focus on. During these talks we will ask for everyone's undivided attention. One idea is for a speaker to bring a sheet of stamps, a cover, or some other item(s) from their collection and discuss it (how obtained, significance, etc.). Exhibits: Can we produce 16 one page exhibits for our January bourse? Or 2 page or 4 page exhibits?
