Singapore Stamps & Philately Related Clubs / Societies

I've always wonder why the Singapore stamps & Philately related clubs / societies do not have a web presence. I did a simple search and all I get is some real physical addresses of these clubs. Guess it is a basic philosophy of real world letter / stamp based communities not touching the electronic communications tools?

Nonetheless here's the list of the clubs / societies that I could find. If you know of other such societies in Singapore, just let me know and I can add to the list. This list is also somewhat weird in the sense that many of the addresses do not appear permanent. If you have their web addresses that would be even more ideal!
  • Association Of Singapore Philatelic - Jurong Point Post Office, P.O.Box 492. Singapore 916417. DID : 65-6261-2421 & Fax : 65-6266-2750.

  • Kreta Ayer Stamp Society - Blk 4 #03-115 Sago Lane, Singapore 050004.

  • Singapore Stamp - c/o Singapore Philatelic Museum (SPM), 23-B Coleman Street Singapore 179807. DID: 6337 3888.

  • Singapore Philatelic Society - SPM (see above)

  • Zui Yui Stamp Club - c/o 14 Moonstone Lane, Singapore 328456

The website for the Association of Singapore philatelists - the National body for stamp collectors, philatelists and stamp societies in Singapore is www.singpex.com

We have just build the website and would like to receive comments and feedback.

Hi Henry,

It might be good to add in chat boxes, e.g. ShoutMix, which are free, and yet allow members to interact real time. Or else you can put in a blog system where comments could be filtered and posted.

I guess allowing members to interact online is a good way to maintain contact and gain new members.

There are some Facebook groups set up by local stamps collectors, and feel free to go take a look. :) Nope these groups were started by others.

Thanks for your comments, but as most of our fellow collectors are not computer savy, including myself - do not blog, wo do hope that you can provide comment on our forum so that our web administrator can take note. Your idea to include chat boxes like ShoutMix is good and I will inform our web administrator to check the feasibility of including it.
