Philas - The Philatelic Association of NSW

There is many great things about stamp exhibitions, be it seeing great exhibits, meeting new like minded people, renewing old acquaintances, seeing valuable stamps including no less than 4 inverted flying jenny's and a surprise purchase of books that have been long out of print.

Parramatta Philatelic Society Open Day is on Today, 9th May 2026.

Venue: Wentworthville O.E.S. Hall, Railway Street, Wentworthville. (Adjacent to Train Station, plenty off-street parking)

Time: 9.30 am - 4.00 pm.

There are a number of stamp clubs and dealers attending on the day and there are auctions scheduled for 12.00 noon and 2.30 pm.

The Parramatta Open Day has been a significant fundraiser for SASS/CMS over the years through both the sale of CMS auction lots and, more so, through CMS Stockbook sales. Accordingly, and as mentioned in SASS Newsletter No.288 (p.1-3) - 21 March 2026, SASS will be represented at this Open Day and we would like to have as many of the CMS Stockbooks as possible at the event. If you are unable to attend on the day with your books, it would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange to get them to Richard Brown by 6 May.

There are a number of SASS members who have advised they will help manage the CMS Stockbooks table, and we would encourage other members who may be interested in the day's activities to come along.
