OUR JUNIORS (Funky Fish Hoek Filatelists) were busy preparing for participating at the National Stamp Exhibition 2016

in Johannesburg (SAPDAPEX). Due to poor organization only one out of three exhibitions has been shown in the big hall...

At least all three shows were presented at the December meeting in Fish Hoek and the girls received a small silver cup and a warm

congratulation from the Vice President Dave Young and a big applause from the members at our Christmas meeting on 6.December.

JUNIORS (Funky FishHoek Filatelists)

Our new section of juniors members, started by Chantal Benade are now meeting regular at the home of one of our senior members Di Hargreaves, Dave Young and Jim Knight.

Below the meeting of 17th April 2015 at Dave's house. Pictures have been taken by Jim Knight. At present some of the juniors are preparing thematic exhibitions for the National Stamp Exhibition CAPEX 2015 in Cape Town. To see how much they enjoy their stamps is giving us all hope that philately will have a future for the younger generation.
