A message from the Royal Philatelic Society London

Our move to 15 Abchurch Lane, London, EC4N 7BW, is nearing completion and we will be hosting our first meeting on the Thursday of Stampex.

Many of you will know that we launched an appeal - Tomorrow’s Royal - last year and to date we have raised over 50 % of our target of £2,500,000.

The new premises of the RPSL in the heart of the Capital City are better than anything that has gone before in the world of Philately and by opening 15 Abchurch Lane we are leading the way into a new era of the understanding of Philately and the art of stamp collecting. Already the PTS, The Philatelic Traders' Society and the organisers of Stampex International, is creating new initiatives and we are mutually supporting one another in our world wide efforts to bring new collectors to our hobby and refresh those already here.

Such initiatives which will benefit everyone in the Philatelic world cost money and we are sending this message to Stampex enthusiasts to ask for your help to create a new image for stamp collecting and to guarantee the preservation of a world renown research facility at the Royal.

We welcome donations of specie including the opportunity to contribute to a special auction to be held on November 8th at our new abode and we solicit material to be auctioned there. We already have some significant contributions including Mafeking covers, revenue proofs, first issue of Brunei in sheets, and fine Belgian Congo. Items may be brought to our stand at Stampex where the material will be gratefully received and the proceeds faithfully applied.

Thank you.
