Okanagan Stamp Club bourse brings auction activity to Summerland

The Okanagan Stamp Club and Bourse took place on 24 January at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Summerland, British Columbia. The one-day event ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The programme included an auction, door prize, free parking and food, with sponsorship from the Penticton and District Stamp Club. Its compact format provided a practical regional meeting point for collectors in western Canada.

Local bourses often surface modest collections and postal history that never reach major auctions. Buyers should still record provenance, examine condition and avoid assuming that an informal description is a certificate of authenticity.
