On behalf of the Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. May you be blessed with good health, prosperity and much happiness. The Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club has something to offer people of all ages from youths to adults to seniors.
This year the pin club is celebrating its 38th Anniversary. The pin club continues to grow and prosper thanks to ongoing support from our regular and corporate members as well as from the many new members who have joined our pin club in the past year. Our international pin club has members living in the USA, the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Australia and Germany as well as throughout Canada.
In 2024, besides our regular pin club meetings, special pin club events included a pizza party held in June at the Norwood Legion, our annual auction of pins and memorabilia held in October at the Norwood Legion and our annual Christmas party held in December at Club Regent Hotel’s Aalto’s buffet restaurant.
This year, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be hosting the 2025 Winnipeg Grey Cup Festival. As we have done for the past three Grey Cup Festivals held in Winnipeg, our pin club will be coordinating pin trading for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the 2025 Winnipeg Grey Cup Festival. Pin club members and guests will have a lot of fun participating in the pin trading.
Our 2025 club pin features a set of four limited edition three dimensional Musk Ox pins. Only 75 sets were made of the Musk Ox pins. The sets are very close to selling out. Pin sales are the pin club’s only source of income.
As they have done for us in the past, Laurie Artiss the Pin People are the producers of our club pins. They have a reputation for excellence throughout the world which is very important to people who value having high quality pins in their collections.
It is now FREE to become a pin club member.. With your pin club membership, you will receive a free monthly newsletter containing club news, a pin ad section, pin related articles and an up-to-date membership list. Club members can place free ads in the newsletters.
I am encouraging all pin club members to please consider reaching out to their fellow pin club members either by email or phone or by mail to do some pin trading. Contact information is provided to all pin club members in the form of the 2025 WPCC membership list.
I wish all of you the very best.
