INTERNATIONAL HOBBY CLUB (IHC)
P. O. Box 140, Issele – Uku, Delta State, NG – 320007, Nigeria.
Dear friend,
Do you want to make friends and collect rare items (like stamps & banknotes) for hobby and/or business worldwide? Then join INTERNATIONAL HOBBY CLUB (IHC),
an “All Hobbies/Business” Club. If you fill your application form and return it to us, we will send you a privately computerized list of ten friends based on the information you provided in the form. Membership is for one year, but you may renew your membership for as many years as possible. We will also pass your details to ten other members of the same interest within one year. The 12-month membership period does not affect how long members can write to one another. Members can write to one another for as long as they choose. However, if members would like to gain a new list of pen friends and make more friends when their membership expires, they will need to renew their membership. Some of our members renew their membership each time their membership expires, making new friends year after year; others join and then renew their membership many years later; others join once and only write to the people from their first and only IHC membership. For added security, our membership database is specifically not connected to the Internet. If you have any questions or need further details, please do not hesitate to contact us by sms: +234-8085014003 or
