Epsom & Ewell
Philatelic Society
WE hope to start meeting again in January 2022. In the meantime we are having fortnightly meetings via Zoom. Whether you are a member or not and would like to take part just drop us an email. If you have no experience of Zoom, don't worry, it is easier than you think and we'll do all we can to get you up and working. Meanwhile we have plenty for you to see and read under the Virtual Meetings, Focus on GB and Magazine tabs - take a look.
