Our Annual Show - Burlpex

Open to the general public

The Burlington Stamp Club organizes an annual show, Burlpex, in the Community Rooms 1 and 2 of the Burlington Seniors’ Centre (2285 New Street, Burlington ON L7R 1J4), where we gather for our regular meetings. The show is held in the large and well-lit auditorium of the building. Wheelchair accessible. Plenty of parking.

The Burlpex 2026 was on March 28th, 2026. It was very successful.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Stay tuned for the date (yet to be determined) of our Burlpex 2027 show.

Times: 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Silent auctions: 1st auction closes at 11:30 a.m., 2nd auction closes at 2:00 p.m.

Here are the main activities for that show:

Our circuit books are available on site so, as the show is open to the public, our duly-paid members have a chance to sell their stamps not only to their friends of the club, but also to the general public. That day, in that large room, our club can set up almost ten six-foot long tables to accommodate up to twenty customers at a time (we have the manpower to look after everybody!), while they are exploring our seventy five books full of used and mint stamps of the whole world. Ask for a specific country, and we probably have stamps from it, as well as "topicals".

We hold two silent auction sales, where again, members can place various stamp-related lots for sale.
There are about ten stamp dealers for stamps of the world (among them, recent issues of Canadian and U.S. stamps), souvenir sheets, blocks, covers, postcards, as well as supplies (hinges, mounts, album pages, catalogues...).
There is a small kitchen for a quick lunch, with sandwiches and light beverages…
Bring the kids; they will love to see so many stamps from all over the world, which can tell them about geography (countries, maps...), history (kings, leaders, events...), nature (animals, plants...), society (buildings, cars...), etc.
It is always a very pleasant day for all concerned!
