The Sasolburg Philatelic Society/Filatelie Vereniging, also known as Oilfilat, is set to host its annual exhibition at the Sasolburg Public Library.

The fascinating display will run from Monday, October 27, until Friday, October 31.

More than just collecting

While often viewed as a simple hobby, philately (stamp collecting) has evolved into a sophisticated form of storytelling.

The exhibition will highlight the growing trend of thematic collecting, where stamps are meticulously curated to illustrate a particular narrative or subject.

The society extends a warm invitation to the entire community, with a special welcome for school groups.

The exhibition provides a unique, visual, and engaging educational experience across multiple subjects.

Members of Oilfilat will be on hand throughout the week to answer questions about the thematic displays and to provide guidance to those looking for information on their own collections.

To inspire the next generation of collectors, junior visitors will receive a gift of stamps to encourage them to start or expand their philatelic journey.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how miniature works of art can convey grand stories of the world.
