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 was able to attend the first half of this year's AGM and I enjoyed it immensely. I won't single out individuals for thanks as I will forgot someone so instead, I would like to say thank you to everyone involved in making the event happen.
