Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
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.

Message: Nigel, I'm not sure what help I can offer as my free time is very limited these days. However should you work on such a dictionary I would question wether a Philatelic one really requires all the abbreviations and military terms used which can be currently found in the GPS (US) publication. Of course the GPS current edition is in itself quite useful for many non German speakers. But perhaps one published keeping to relevant philatelic terms or connections would be more appropriate. Strangely enough I had a speare copy of the GPS dictionary and gave it to a German friend and he also commented at the time that there were words in that publication which simply do not exist in the German language. Kind regards, Alec.
