Four Sydney Youth Stamp Group (SYSG) workshops are held each year during the school holidays for children aged 7 to 18 years.
We have a Junior group (7 to 10 year olds) and a Senior group (11 to 18 year olds).
The workshops are for children who want to further their stamp collecting enjoyment and skills and we especially welcome beginners.
