The Club is holding its 2009 Winter Bourse on Saturday November 28 at the Yorkminster Park Baptist Church. North Toronto’s bourses help the Club cover its costs and are one of the highpoints of its curriculum. We are always grateful to those able to assist with the gym and clubroom preparations late on Friday afternoon and the post bourse clean up.

Each bourse gives a venue for about two dozen vendors to showcase their stamp wares and to meet with their regular collector/customers and gain new ones.
