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.
A growing interest in this aspect of German philately. Enjoyed articles by John Gunn and Bill Bruce-Bowling in earlier issues of "Germania". Have not seen any of the early covers in the Society`s Auction. Somewhat deterred by a remark of BBB who says `these covers are now bringing three digit prices`. How is the market these days? Such prices kill my interest!
