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.
I had the very good fortune of attending the London Group meeting on 19 March. I wanted to thank every one there for the very warm welcome and fellowship. I will always try to plan my travel through the London area on the weekends of group program and meetings.
