Rochdale Philatelic Society

October 2024 Club Meeting Notes

At our October monthly meeting, members welcomed Burnley Philatelic Society on their annual visit.

 

We commenced with Peter Markham presenting his collection of GB Victorian line engraved 2d blue stamps and covers.

 

Following on, Barry Evans gave a talk on the history of the Universal Postal Union from its inception on the 9th. October 1874 to its 150th. anniversary on 9th. October 2024.

 

Our final session by Howard Hughes was about GB Edinburgh postmarks regarding the use of Maltese Cross cancellations as used in receiving houses.

 

New members are always welcome at our meetings, which are held at the Rochdale Unitarian Church on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm. Our next evening will be about U.N.E.S.C.O.
