The
East Coast Vikings |
The East Coast Vikings is a rather informal
group of collectors living in and around East Central Scotland. All
members
share a common interest in the stamps and postal history of the
Scandinavian
countries. We meet in each other's homes about once a month September
to
June, when there is usually a subject or invited display, modest
quantities
of beer (and cider) are drunk, we stop for a break for some supper, and
generally chat an awful lot. There is no structure to the group. In
fact,
the constitution (which is of course unwritten) states that there will
be no constitution. There are no office-bearers, no subscriptions, and
so on, and it all works very well.
Each year, a programme of meetings is drawn
up for the coming season, but we have found in recent years that we
tend
to change it about quite a bit as the season progresses. All members
are
kept informed of any programme changes.
Members;
David Crosthwaite, Mike
Faulds, John Law, David Manners, Bob Murray, Keith Robinson, Frank Soutar, and
Irene Catto.
New members are welcome. Please
get in touch for information.
There are also similar groups
of Vikings based around Glasgow and Aberdeen. Once a year there is an
all-Scotland
meeting, usually in Perth in September.

Stamps
