The Yorkshire Philatelic Association (YPA) was founded in 1947 in Leeds. Initially there were ten societies, but the Association has grown over the years to its present twenty-three affiliated member societies.

The YPA aims to provide a variety of benefits for all philatelists in the area, create links between societies and form an effective bridge between philately at local and national levels.

Affiliated societies are represented by their nominated delegates. Together with the elected officers of the Association they form the Management Committee which meets twice a year to organise and run the YPA and provide a forum for discussion on matters of common interest to all philatelists in the YPA area.

We really want to make sure that all societies promote themselves on the INTERNET we feel that it is an essential way to reach new members. Those persons wishing to find a new hobby or reignite a hobby of their youth and are INTERNET literate. And lets not forget about keeping in touch with existing and our older members.

Free of charge Website design and initial training (there are conditions and you may wish to add things which will attract fees)

CONTACT the YPA President on president@y-p-a.org.uk 

The YPA is looking to provide a variety of seminars on such subjects such as -

How to present a club display : the dos and don'ts.

How to write up a competition entry 

Train to be a Federation Judge

If you feel that this is something you would like to attend let the YPA secretary know. If there is sufficient interest we can obtain a speaker and arrange a venue.

If you feel that there are other subjects worth arranging a seminar for pass details to the YPA Secretary.

This month we are highlighting Sheffield Philatelic Society and wish them well in their 124th year. They meet every 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at the United Reformed Church.
