With almost half of the club's membership living in Batemans Bay, the club has decided to host its next Stamp Swap Meet down south for the first time this month.
The event will be held on June 22 at the Anglican Church Hall, 6 Herarde Street, Batemans Bay.
There will be collectors on site selling their excess material and showing some of their collections.
The collectors present will be on hand to answer all questions about stamps, coins and collections.
Club secretary Steven Searle said a common question is "I have just inherited a stamp/coin collection. Where do I go from here?"
"Many people at some time in their lives inherit a stamp/coin collection from a relative," he said,
"In many cases the person inheriting the collection has no idea of the value of the collection or what to do with it."
While there's many things you can do with a stamp/coin collection, Steven said the first things to be decided are determining the value of a collection, how to gain valuations, to keep it and take up stamp or coin collecting, or how to dispose of a collection.
If you are in this position and would like more information, you can bring the collection along to the Stamp Swap Meet and talk to the collectors there.
If you can't make it on June 22, the collection can be bought along to the Milton Ulladulla Stamp Club meetings. The group meets at the Milton Ulladulla Bowing Club at 1pm on the fourth Monday of the month.
The Club holds an annual Stamp Fair each Easter Sunday in conjunction with the Ulladulla Blessing of the Fleet Festival.
