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 John - my understanding is that Michel has been disappointed with its sales of the two parts of Deutsches Reich Spezial they have already published in 2007 and 2009. This is despite the fact that we have sold well over a hundred of these through the Society's 20% discount scheme. The late Will Payne's 'Companions' were useful in their day, but the English versions of Michel (albeit incomplete in their coverage) superseded them. Between the two parts of Michel in English most areas are covered up to and including the post WWII zones but with the notable exception of the States. There seems little point in Michel translating DDR and Bundesrepublik listings into English. Giles.
