Displays
The main display on the Village Green will be mounted by members of The Postal History Society showing their many collecting interests. By the Youth Area at the rear of the Mezzanine will be the entries in the Stamp Active Competition.
Standholders
There are a superlative list of dealers, with about one-fifth from overseas, to satisfy every requirement be it large or small. The Royal Mail stand will be there, just inside the entrance, with their usual offering of the best in Modern Great Britain including the first day of the “Musicals” issue on the Thursday. A special posting box is available at the exhibition for all days and a second box to obtain special Stampex FDI handstamps for the Royal Mail issue on the Thursday.
For the full continually updated list see the P.T.S. web site, www.philatelic-traders-society.co.uk. There will also be a joint stand for the A.B.P.S. and the National Philatelic Society. The Stampex Committee are grateful to the members of the latter who man the Information Stand just inside the main entrance for the duration of the show.
Society Meetings
A number of Societies including the Great Britain P.S., Egypt Study Circle, the Concorde Study Circle, the Ceylon Study Circle, the Aden, Yemen & Somaliland Study Circle, the Malta Study Circle and the British Postmark Society have already booked meetings at Stampex on the Saturday. They will welcome any new potential members who are interested.
‘At the show’
There will again be a free postcard, number 20 in the series, issued to all visitors and only available at the show. This features a presentation visual by Cooper Thirkell Ltd. Proposed for the 1986 Halley’s Comet issue and reproduced by kind permission of the British Postal Museum and Archive.
Not forgetting the younger collector
The National Youth Stamp Group will as usual lay on a host of activities for young collectors including a chance to amass points to spend in the FREE Auction which takes place on the Saturday. It’s always a hive of activity, why not pop along and see the future exhibitors enjoying the day.
