The Society is an extremely friendly organisation founded in 1973, with about 20 members with a wide variety of interests not only in the Philatelic area but other collecting areas as well. It is affiliated to the Associated British Philatelic Society and the Midlands and Anglian Philatelic Federation.
Membership has increased markedly in recent years, one sign of an active and thriving club.

Meetings take place monthly, usually on the 1st Wednesday of each month, at the Great Gonerby Memorial Hall, Belton Lane, Great Gonerby, Grantham, NG31 8NB.
The room is opened at about 7.15 p.m., and we start the meeting soon after.
After the end of restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic which prevented us getting together in the Hall, the Club has continued to operate with on-line Zoom meetings on the third Wednesdays of each month that start at 7.30 p.m.
The Zoom meeting is open to any interested person who should contact the Temporary Acting Secretary (see above) to receive the Zoom invitation.
Some of the display titles have been slightly abbreviated.
