Our exchange packet is circulated to members on request. Members who have philatelic material for sale may send it to the Packet Secretary for circulation, and can purchase other members' material from the packet. Each packet contains approximately 20 books of stamps and we usually have about 20 packets in circulation at any one time. Here is a link to the rules.
The Society's magazine, the Katharine Street Post, is usually published three times per year and is sent free of charge to all members. Recent articles include:
