Welcome

Welcome to the home of the Amersham & District Philatelic Society on the internet.

A message from the web content manager 26 January 2012. The original website has now been updated and apologies to regular visitors for the absence over the past couple of months of up-to-date news.. This is now being corrected and over the next few days you should find it brought bang up-to-date.

One new feature is that there is now a bid form for our auctions that you can complete on-line and send us without having to send us a paper form or write and send an Email.

A few of our members have reported difficulties in accessing anything other than the front page of the site. If you find that the site is at all clunky or unresponsive, please tell me - use the 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page and send the message to the web content manager. I'll need to know which browser you're using to access the site.
