PISG will have a significant presence at the annual APS
StampShow being held at the Connecticut Convention
Center from August 14 to 17 in Hartford, Connecticut. We
will be sharing a joint society booth with our friends from
the Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group (FIPSG) and
the St. Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha Philatelic
Society (SHATPS). The booth (Society Booth G) will provide a handy place
for members to meet and talk with other PISGers, as well
as review some of the recent publications of the group. If
you would like to volunteer to help staff the booth, please
notify Mark Butterline. Even an hour of coverage would
be appreciated. It's even fun.
On Saturday, August 16 there will be a PISG General
Membership Meeting in room 24 from 4:00PM to 5:30PM.
All are welcome. There will be two presentations with a transportation theme.
Mark Butterline will speak about Pitcairn Air Mail and Steve Pendleton will speak
about Pitcairn Ship Mail. There will also be a general membership discussion.
Over 170 stamp dealers,
including some who
specialize in Pitcairn,
will be at the show. In
addition there will be
nearly 1,000 frames of
exhibits. This is the
largest annual stamp
show in the United
States.
