Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

R. A. Stamp Club : The Stamp Club of the Ottawa Civil Service Recreational Association, known generally as the RA Stamp Club, began in 1944. The Club, as an incipient group, did not select its first executive until the fall of 1947. Its first President was Lorne W. Bentham.

Throughout its history, the RA Stamp Club has been affiliated with the Canadian Philatelic Society (now The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada) as an official chapter (no. 41). From time to time, during the 1950s, joint meetings were held with the Ottawa Philatelic Society.

The RA Stamp Club has been involved with BYPEX since the mid-fifties. In 1962, the Club began holding its own annual stamp exhibition. Called ORAPEX (Ottawa Recreational Association Philatelic EXhibition), it has grown to be one of the premier stamp exhibitions in the country.
