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: Hello Dom The tariffs on your three NDP letters are as follows: (1) 4½ Gr = the correct single-weight, ordinary letter rate for a Franco (paid) letter to Bordeaux (5Gr on an unfranked letter). Some destinations in France nearer the border cost less. (2) 2Gr = the correct single-weight, ordinary letter rate for a Franco letter to Belgium (4Gr on an unfranked letter). (3) 5Gr = the correct single-weight ordinary letter rate for a Franco letter to Great Britain sent via Ostend (7Gr on an unfranked letter). The letter should be marked ‘via Ostende’. Franco letters via Calais cost 5½Gr (6½Gr unfranked).
