MORE than 100 postcard and stamp enthusiasts from Malvern and the wider county descended on the town for a bi-monthly fair on Saturday.

Collectors from as far away as Somerset and Surrey also made the trip to the Lyttelton Rooms to take part in an event enjoying ever-increasing popularity.

"It is popular - stamps, postcards and cigarette cards - they've even got magazines for them these days," said organiser Robert Neil.

Mr Neil, from Cardiff, said although nothing spectacular changed hands this time round the event and its Malvern venue is a popular one with enthusiasts.

He added that he is already planning a return event on October 20.
