The Antique Phonograph Society lacks the resources to actively sponsor regional chapters, nor is the the APS a fraternal organization by intent (although it certainly is a common outcome!). To see what the APS aims to accomplish, go here:Wes K wrote:
Question for the APS folks:
Have you guys considered regional chapters, like the NAWCC?
Or maybe regional meets/events like the AFCA? (Antique Fan Collectors Association).
I know the AFCA's annual event, FanFair, is held in a different city every year.

That said, the APS supports and promotes the activities of regional antique phonograph societies which care to send material to the web site for public consumption. Unfortunately, the APS seldom receives material on upcoming events from regional groups. Here's what the "Future Events" section of the web site looks like at the moment:

All is not lost, though. Here's what the APS has previously posted - - now under "Past Events" (note that there are 3 pages of these listings):

If that weren't enough, the APS is happy to post regional societies' newsletters and reports:

There are a number of regional and parent societies around the U.S. and Canada, any of which can be contacted either through the "Links" section of the APS web site (see below), or through a larger list I can post here if there's interest.
