WEST OF ENGLAND THEMATIC SOCIETY (WETS)
WHATEVER YOUR INTEREST YOU CAN TELL IT USING PHILATELY
The society was originally formed by a small group of philatelits with a
passionate interest in Thematics. From these early days the society has grown
into one of the most dynamic thematic societies locally and Nationally.
WETS is a member of Wessex Philatelic Federation, the Association of British
Philatelic Societies and British Thematic Association.
The society draws its membership from Wessex, Somerset & Dorset and
Cornish Federations. We have an enthusiastic and knowledagable membership
always willing to help new or inexperienced members.
