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 Ian. The bars are part of a machine postmark. The postage stamp was stuck on sideways, the postmark bars are horizontal alongside a single-ring town- and date-stamp. Very, very common in this period in dozens if not hundreds of towns. Hope this helps, Philip
