About the Club
We are a group of collectors and philatelists who have the good fortune to live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
Our group was organized in 2001 to promote philately, to assist with the exchange of philatelic material and to promote good fellowship among our members. Our founding members were Chip Bishop, Doug Clark, Nancy Clark, Hugh Daugherty and Mike Mead.
We were granted Chapter #1532 of the American Philatelic Society on March 31, 2002. As such we abide by the APS code of ethics,
