The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
In the latest issue of "Germania" there is an illustration on page 109 of a machine cancel illustrating the Brandenburg Gate along with a message about the Olympic Games. If any member has such a piece for disposal I would be pleased to hear from them.
