Welcome to the Wealden Postcard Club Web Page.
The Club meets on the second Friday of every month
at St Paul’s Methodist Church Hall, Woodfield Road Northgate Crawley West Sussex.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for 8:00 start.

The hall is easily accessible from the M23/A23 and A264. It is about 10 minutes walk from Crawley Town Centre and Railway Station, and about 20 minutes walk from Three Bridges Station. Bus 100 stops outside.

Each meeting consists of a main talk lasting about 45 minutes and a shorter activity, often involving the members, after the refreshment interval. There are three or four dealers at every meeting for you to buy and sell cards. One of our meetings is our Grand Annual Auction and one of the summer meetings is an outing to a nearby town or village.

There is an admission charge of 50p. for members and £1 for guests to cover refreshments.

The Club was founded by Michael Goldsmith in 1985 and celebrated its 21st Birthday in April 2006. We are one of the largest and most active Postcard Clubs in the country and are also very friendly, new members or visitors are always welcome. A monthly newsletter is posted to members.
The Club organises the very successful Horsham Postcard Fair in July and enjoys a considerable reputation at the BIPEX display competition.
