In my official capacity as President
of the
Federation of Philatelic Societies

this our 60th Annual convention.

grateful thanks to them for all the
hard work preparing this event in this historic
I am sure we shall enjoy admiring the
various club competition entries, lovingly
prepared and meeting up with old
friends and making new acquaintances from
the 30 odd clubs within the
Federation.
My thanks also to our loyal Dealers
(without whom there would be no convention)
and hope they will have a successful
and profitable day.
I have been out of action for some
months now and my thanks to the Vice
President Gilbert Smith for dealing
with matters arising.
I trust you will all have a very
enjoyable day and be able to enhance your own
collections, with some of you
encouraged to join your Local Society.

people attended the inaugural
meeting. At the next meeting on 12th November,
the first proper meeting, a committee
of six was elected, with Dr J N Keynes
(father of John Maynard Keynes) as
President.
The first few meetings were held in

Society’s premises) and subsequent meetings have
been held at:
The Liberal Club,
The Sidgwick Rooms,
YMCA main hall,
The
Wesley Schools Hall (1951-88), and
now currently
Manchester Unity Order of Oddfellows
premises,
The Society hosted the Philatelic
Congress of Great Britain in 1925, 1938 and
1980.
Membership from all walks of life,
town and gown, has varied over the years, as
might be expected, and presently
stands at 89. Many notable collectors have
been members over the years. Meetings
are held twice monthly at the
Oddfellows Hall, winter and summer,
consisting of displays by visiting speakers,
one or more members, competitions for
a range of trophies, and an annual
auction of members’ spare
items. The circulating packet is also a means for
members to buy and sell. There is
usually an attendance of around twenty at
meetings. There are sometimes
exchange visits with other societies.
In addition, the Society has a
comprehensive library, which members can view at
meetings, and borrow books for one
month.
New members are always very welcome,
and if you are interested, please

Welcome to
A very warm welcome to all our
visitors today on this the 60th
East Anglian Federation Convention
and Stamp Fair.
It is a great honour for the
Cambridge Philatelic Society in its 90th year to be
hosting this event.
The staging of this event has been a
marvellous team effort by members of the
Cambridge Philatelic Society with
help from members of other local societies
over a period of some 18 months. I
wish to thank all the volunteers for their hard
work over this time.
This event would not be staged
without our sponsors and advertisers and my
grateful thanks to all of them for
their generous support and encouragement.
Thanks to many dealers present, some
having come considerable distance to be
here today. I am only sorry that many
other dealers who wished to come could
not be fitted in due to the lack of
space but hopefully could be on another
occasion.
We are also very fortunate to have
Cavendish Philatelic Auctions conducting free
valuations together with H.W.Wood Ltd
providing insurance advice.
Thank you to the exhibitors for their
entries in the various classes which cover
49 frames of excellent material.
I hope you all vote for your
favourite display in the Regional Festival Trophy 2010
competition between the federation
societies.
Finally I would like to thank the
Mistress, Fellows, Students, the Catering
Manager and his team at
possible and in particular Graham
Rawlings who has fielded many strange
telephone calls over this last 12 months;
thanks to you all.
Above all else we hope our visitors
will enjoy the day and perhaps some new
stamp collectors will emerge having
been stimulated by the displays from the
many fields of interest which can be
derived from philately.
