... To know us better ...

One of the five philatelic associations federated in the Marne district , the APS was created 21st May 1898. It benefits from the regime of the 1901 Act. The A. P.S., is part of the Philatelic Group Champagne-Ardenne (GPCA) and one of the oldest associations of Epernay and the French Federation of Philatelic Associations (FFAP), having operated continuously without any inception since its fondation. It is numbered 8/III. At the moment there are around 133 members (111 adults and 22 youth and school).

Traditionally, its goals are to develop and promote for all friends of the stamps:

> Taste of the collection;

> Study and collection of postal markings (marcophily), ancient and modern;

> Thematic and the open class, or how to illustrate a theme from philatelic documents or not;

> Postal History;

> Fiscal philately;

> Postcards.

> The promotion of philatelic science.

To achieve this, and in exchange of a very low annual fee, it offers its members:

> A service of new stamps: ensuring the provision, for each issue of stamps, books, wheels, blocks, postal stationery, precanceled from France or foreign countries, and other postal documents;

> Service trade (exchange): with special booklets, made by members of the association who wish to let other members to benefit stamps or documents they wish to sell;

> A delivery service of philatelic material: making available, on request, catalogs, folders, album pages, covers and other materials such as tweezers, magnifiers etc. ... at preferential rates;

> A special library: lending freely, all documentation as books, pamphlets, newspapers and magazines;

> Newsletter: relating the life of the association and with many philatelic articles;

> A website;

> A monthly meeting: lead by communications outreach and audio-visual projections

> A club "Young" lead by experienced instructors. They introduce youngsters to philately;

> An school animation : introduction to stamp collecting in schools at the request of school teachers. Stamp collecting is a cultural activity, an excellent educational tool that addresses numerous subjects such as history or classical art, geography, economic or political, social studies or other, etc ...

> Participation to exhibitions: local, regional, national and international.
