BANBURY TO HOST FESTIVAL OF STAMPS
 

 

Banbury Stamp Society is to host a major event for stamp collectors in the Autumn as part of the national Festival of Stamps in 2010.  This year is seeing a year-long celebration of philately across the UK which started with the London 2010 International Exhibition in May. Banbury’s event will feature the Midland Philatelic Federation Autumn Convention annual competitions and a Stamp & Postcard Fair. It will take place on SATURDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2010 at BROUGHTON HALL, BANBURY SCHOOL, Ruskin Road, Banbury, OX16 9HY from 10.00am – 4.00pm. There will about 20 stamp dealers taking part. There is also a limited quantity of rooms available for Specialist Societies who wish to arrange a regional meeting. Refreshments will be available all day. Ample free parking is available to visitors. There is also a Railway Station at Banbury on the Chiltern Line (Marylebone – Birmingham) for those travelling by train.

 

Free Valuations of stamps and postal history will be available from Midlands expert valuer, Tony Lester, for anyone thinking of selling all or part of their collection. There is also a Design a Stamp Competition for children (under 18) being run in association with some local schools with the prize of a Penny Black for the winner.

 

Commenting on plans for the Festival, Chairman. Leslye Dunkley said “It will be an event not to be missed for all new and experienced philatelists.  There will be some displays by some of the leading collectors in the Midlands. It will be a great opportunity to meet fellow collectors, buy some new items for your collections and learn more about the hobby.”

 

Secretary, John Davies added “We have invited some of the top Societies in the UK to take part in the event including the British Thematic Association, so there will be some fantastic displays to look forward to.”
