IN THE BEGINNING
     Three boys, Colin Fowle, Robin Grey & Clive Grey called round whilst I was having dinner one Saturday and asked if I would organize a Stamp Club for them, they thought I was good at organizing as I was always organizing things! This was at the beginning of April 1953. A meeting was called for all the children in Newlands Road to meet in our garage. The garage was crowded out and as a result Robin was elected “Chief”, and myself  Secretary and Treasurer. The first actual meeting was an auction sale and 4½d was raised for the club funds.
     Our neighbour, Mr Hodgson,  judged and gave prizes for the first competition.  He also  very kindly gave four prizes of 2/6 each to John Teasdale, Colin Fowle, David and Myself.

   Well that is how it all began.

   The club generally met about once every two weeks, but in the first couple of years that wasn’t general. 

NO ADULTS.

   I must point out that at no time in its 14 year history was the club run or organised by anyone else other than those under the age of 21.   Adults did come to meetings, but only at OUR invitation.  Some of the adults were very famous philatelists who came from long distances to speak to our members.

   MOST of these people originally came from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.   But a few came from other towns. If no town given assume they came from Tunbridge Wells. (some came from different areas of Tunbridge Wells, ie Southborough, High Brooms, and Langton Green).  They are not listed in any particular order.
