Salmon Postcard Study Group (SSG)

Early in 2006 after collecting Salmon postcards for only about six months, I came across a postcard club or group that dealt exclusively with Salmon postcards and other Salmon related products.

The Salmon Postcard Study Group (SSG) was formed in 1989 by Jack Whittaker and caters for a wide range of member interests including Watercolour, Children’s artists, Fancy cards, Black and White, Real Photograph topos and all Modern cards. Some members study all Salmon productions including Calendars, Books, Guides, Place Mats, Jigsaws and Slides.

There is an annual subscription to join this group which enables the group to produce 4 newsletters a year. The news letters contain a balance of all members’ interests with articles, lists, competitions, wanted cards and new card information.

Here is the cover page of the latest copy of this newsletter.

In addition to the news letters, the group gets together once a year for a group outing to retrace the steps of A. R. Quinton. At these outings the group try to find the exact locations where A. R. Quinton painted his landscapes. Also available are past issues of the SSG news letter.

I really encourage anyone interested in collecting Salmon postcards to join this group by contacting Tony Longshaw via his email.
