Free Stamps to Collect!
I recently got back into stamp collecting when my sister discovered our childhood collections when she moved house.
Did you collect stamps as a child? Is your collection hiding in the loft? Now would be a great time to dig it out, or if you missed out as a child, now is your opportunity to start a collection!
We have had some great events at the Norwich Centre, most recently a football tournament which was held at University of East Anglia (UEA) run by the fantastic Active Norfolk.
