The principal aims of the Association are:
  • To represent the hobby both nationally and internationally

  • To encourage the growth of Philately

  • To organise events and, if required, offer support and advice to Federation/Society events.

  • To provide workshops locally or nationally on various aspects of the hobby.

  • To provide a Directory which serves as a compendium of information useful to the Society Secretary and to the members of the Society.

  • To publish books, papers etc of value to Members

  • To assist in the organisation of an annual Congress which acts as a national focus point for philately within the British Isles.

  • To issue a Journal ABPS News which publicises the work of affiliated Federations and Societies at local and national level, and reports on developments within philately.

The Association can provide a worthwhile service to its membership only if as many Societies. Federations and Individuals as possible join and offer support both financial and physical.. To help this process, members of the ABPS Executive Committee are pleased to attend Society and Federation events, by invitation, to explain its aims.
