For a number of months http://christchurchcollectables.nz/ has been a valid address for this website. We are retiring the address christchurchcollectables.org.nz. All that's changing is that we're dropping the "org" part. From 2 September 2015, the old address will no longer be valid as the domain registration will expire. Please update bookmarks to the new address. If you get lost, google us!
As notified at last month’s meeting, the next Club meeting on Sunday 28 June at 7.00 p.m. at the Philatelic Centre, 67 Mandeville Street, is also a Special General Meeting at which the proposed rule amendments will be circulated. The Collectable and Bottle of the Night will be farming related, and there will also be New Finds.
