Supporting the philatelic community of Sussex
This is the revised version of the ASPS web site . The old website has been closed and the web address "sussexphilately.org.uk" now directs to here.
Welcome to ASPS
The Federation of Philatelic Societies (including Stamp and Postcard Clubs) throughout Sussex.
The Association of Sussex Philatelic Societies (ASPS), welcomes you to this website which highlights what is going on with stamp, postal history and postcard collecting in East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton & Hove.
Our 17 affiliated societies offer a wide range of speakers and events covering all aspects of these hobbies and all levels of collecting. Whether you are a beginner, traditional or specialist collector, there is a club near you where you will find a warm welcome from fellow enthusiasts.

ABOUT ASPS
The Association of Sussex Philatelic Societies (ASPS) was founded in 1947. Its original aims and objectives have remained largely unchanged, with today's Association facilitating the coming together of Sussex societies, advising and assisting societies if desired, making available a list of known collectors willing to give lectures and displays, promoting a Stamp Fair and the possibility of a philatelic workshop.
The Officers listed here are elected at the Annual General Meeting. An Executive Committee, consisting of the Association's principal officers plus four others is also elected annually to manage the running of the Association.
Other roles may be appointed by the Executive Committee and/or confirmed at an AGM.
An ASPS Stamp Fair is held annually in October at the South of England Showground, Ardingly, at which the AGM takes place, and stamp & postcard dealers are in attendance.
