Annual competition

Postal History

      On the 2nd May 2007 the meeting at the Shropshire Philatelic society was for the results of the club competition.

      The sections were Postal History, Thematics and Stamps. One entry was entered that was really social philately and the judge on the night, (Mr J Jackson), decided that with no class for this it would be best entered in the Thematics section, in which it was the best entry

      The following 9 pages will not remain intact, rather the items will be placed into other sections of the collection, hopefully, in a better context for what they are. Click on one of the pages to view a larger image.
