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.
The deceased wife of my late uncle was a german citizen. She is a philatelist and had left with us a lot of german stamps dating back even before the 3rd Reich of Nazi Germany. If you are interested, you can contact me through this e-mail address.
