The Society is intending to hold ZOOM meetings again in 2025, details of which may be found on the HOME page or the ZOOM Meetings page when they become available. InterSociety meetings are proposed and notice will be given on the HOME Page. It is hoped that more meetings will be resurrected in 2025 but it does depend on members coming forward to volunteer.
London Group
The meeting of France & Colonies Philatelic Society was held on WEDNESDAY 21 May in East Molesey (just across the river from Hampton Court). Starting time of 14:00 hrs. There were five displays:
• Wallis & Fortuna
• French mail during the occupation
• Zanzibar PO overprints
• Recent French issues
• French Red Cross issues
The discussion afterwards focused on the continuing challenge to find a central London location (affordable, able to store frames on site, suitable size, close to travel hub, willing to take bookings etc). We have had some suggestions from other members which we are following up. In addition to this there was agreement to pursue the option of a small local sub-group that could meet more regularly (in Southwest London) where we may be able to use the same location as Wimbledon Philatelic Society. If this proves successful we might consider starting other sub-groups in the other three quadrants of Greater London and environs.
