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.

ROYAL 2013 is going to be held in Winnipeg from June 21st to 23rd 2013. Our CAS Symposium will also include a "Day of Aerophilately" on Saturday June 22nd, with talks on airmail and/or aviation history topics in the morning; and an exhibitors' forum in the afternoon. We will also try and arrange tours of the Winnipeg Aviation Museum, and of the museum in the Billy Bishop Building, on the Friday afternoon.
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.
non-competitive exhibits, in which people can show what they want, how they want.
Our Symposium plans are being co-ordinated by David Whiteley. Please contact him with suggestions, and/or for more information. davidwhiteley531@hotmail.com |
