The Gozo Philatelic Society is a Non-Governmental organization, founded on the 3rd September 1999 for ‘the promotion of hobby’, ‘the provision of a point of reference’, and ‘co-ordination’. Since 2000, the Gozo Philatelic Society has published a quarterly newsletter full of philatelic information and news. Furthermore the Gozo Philatelic Society organizes lectures about philately by professionals, a member’s monthly meeting and several small philatelic exhibitions apart from the annual exhibition held in November at the Gozo Ministry Exhibition Halls. The Gozo Philatelic Society issues commemorative cards whenever MaltaPost issues a Gozo related postage stamp and/or a special commemorative handstamp.
