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.
Below is a link to a question from a friend in Germany that I hope some of our members may be able to answer. So far no information is available from Germany itself.

Any ideas or answers would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation. Alec McGrattan
