Everyone knows the thrill of looking for that cash in the attic, the Penny Black behind the ugly print of some obscure concrete block or a risque postcard that you wouldn't send to mum which turns into a fortune.

On Saturday September 4 the Swindon Stamp and Postcard Fair will play host to collectors and enthusiasts at the Western Community Centre in Somerset Road, Rodbourney Cheney in Swindon.

Dealers from the south and southwest will be on hand to sell and buy and will undertake free valuations for insurance purposes.

The fair runs from 9.30pm to 4.30pm with light refreshments available. Entry is 20p.
