Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Okanagan-Mainline Philatelic Association : The Okanagan-Mainline Philatelic Association came in to being as a result of a meeting held at the home of R.J. Duncan in Armstrong (B.C.) on 24 May, 1959. At this time, a group of stamp collectors gathered at Duncan's home to discuss the forming of a club, covering the area from Kamloops to Penticton, and Salmon Arm to Clinton.

At this meeting a constitution was drawn up, committee activities planned, and a committee formed to plan for the organizational meeting to be held in Vernon. On 21 June, at a meeting held at the Vernon Elementary School, a constitution and bylaws were adopted and a slate of officers elected to officially form the Okanagan-Mainline Philatelic Association. The secretary reported 22 paid-up members at this inaugural meeting.

After being in operation for a year, the membership included several members from the U.S. and had extended to the Oliver-Osoyoos area.

In 1994, the Association hosted OGOPEX (Royal '94 Royale), the annual congress of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada.
