The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.

Message: Dear Norman According to "the Stamp Atlas" by Stuart Rossiter and John Fowler, The UPU (created 1878) suggested at its first congress in Paris, that certain stamps should be green, red and blue - in Britain's case this applied to the 1/2d, 1d and 2 1/2d stamps respectively. Regards Giles
