Nanango Stamp Club&#8217;s annual Stamp Fair<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>February 2, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nanango Stamp Club is gearing up for its biggest day of the year on Saturday, February 6.<\/p>\n<p>The club will be hosting its 22nd Stamp Fair at the Nanango State High School Hall in Elk Street.<\/p>\n<p>It expect its annual event will draw keen stamp collectors from all over south-east Queensland, the same as it does every year.<\/p>\n<p>The day will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm and promises to be heaven for the region&#8217;s stamp collectors as well as visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, it will feature a philatelic auction, a cent auction and a bargain table.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;ll also be lots of displays to delight any true philatelist&#8217;s heart, along with a record number of visiting professional stamp dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen other stamp clubs have also signalled they&#8217;ll be attending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nanango Stamp Club President Graham Coombe said he was very excited about this year&#8217;s get-together.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the last year we&#8217;ve seen significant growth in our club&#8217;s membership,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Previous long-time members have re-joined after some years away, and most of our current members are now actively participating in club activities and have found a renewed enthusiasm in building their stamp collections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve also received significant support from many quarters, including sponsorship from the Heritage Community Branch in Nanango and a grant from the South Burnett Regional Council to support our new Schools Stamps Education Program and the annual Stamp Fair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2016 looks like being a great year for the club, and I hope all past and present stamp collectors come visit us on Saturday for a great day out with fellow enthusiasts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Admission to the Stamp Fair is free and refreshments will be available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Photos by <a
