The Canadian Aerophilatelic Society

---

The CAS provides a forum for the exchange of information among Canadians who are interested in any aspect of world-wide aerophilately, and for collectors from around the world who are interested in Canadian aerophilately. This is mainly achieved through our newsletter, The Canadian Aerophilatelist, which is published quarterly. If you would like a sample copy of the newsletter, please click here.

CAS SYMPOSIUM at ROYAL 2013 An Aerophilatelic Symposium will be held as part of ROYAL 2013. We are hoping to attract 80 frames of exhibits to the show. The aerophilatelic exhibitors will have two choices: traditional philatelic exhibiting, in which exhibits are judged by RPSC qualified judges; and non-competitive exhibits, in which people can show what they want, how they want. The aerophilatelic events will include a tour of the Western Canada Aviation Museum on Friday afternoon, with special access to their philatelic collection: a forum to discuss the non-competitive exhibits on Saturday morning; speakers on Saturday afternoon; and the Annual General Meeting of the CAS on Sunday afternoon. Our Symposium plans are being co-ordinated by David Whiteley. For more information contact David at davidwhiteley531@hotmail.com
