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: Hi, your postcard was sent from Munich on 30th July, 1938. The figure '22' refers to 2200 pm, or 10 o'clock at night, when the mail was collected. 'Hauptstadt der Bewegung' means 'Capital of the Movement (that is, the Nazi movement)'. The Rennwoche refers to the week long horse racing event taking place in Munich, the 'Braunes Band' or the 'Brown Ribbon of Germany'. The stamp would be the Hindenburg 15 pf value. Hope that helps.
