North Texas Space Unit Chapter to Meet in Houston

Five members of the Space Unit will drive down to Houston for a scheduled meeting on Saturday, September 19th at 3:00 PM in conjunction with the Greater Houston Stamp Show. The location of the show is the Humble Civic Center - 8233 Will Clayton Pkwy. - Humble, Texas.

Postcards have been sent so that all 22 Texas SU members are aware of the show and have the opportunity to meet with several long time Space Cover enthusiasts.

A first showing of a 6-frame exhibit on Apollo 11, starting with a signed Explorer 1 cover by James van Allen and going through an Apollo 11 Captain's cover for splashdown will be on the show floor.

All attendees are encouraged to bring space collectibles to show, trade, sell or have identified.

Following the close of the show, attendees are invited to join up for dinner at a local restaurant and then gather at a hotel room at the official show hotel, the Hampton Inn at 20515 Hwy. 59 North at Will Clayton Pkwy. in Humble. They have a special show rate of $85 per night including a hot continental breakfast, and they offer free shuttle service between the airport and the show site. Reservations at (281) 446-4800 must be made by September 4th and callers must mention the Houston Stamp Show Rate.

More information about the show is here.

The North Texas Study Unit is known for its fun gatherings over the last 35 years or so. Attendees can learn how to participate in a three-way, four-way or greater trade to get items you want from others who don't want what you have.

All times are CT (US)
