After undergoing and interregnum regarding the editorship of this Bulletin, I am pleased that Colin Walker has now taken on this important role and that quarterly Bulletins should now be back on track, including interesting articles and periodic auctions (as in this issue).

Of course, it is your club and our editor relies on you to submit articles, images, news items and letters that all add up to the interesting mix that characterises our magazine.  The Club also relies on members to pay their subscriptions on time and thanks to you that have done so this year because, of course, without these funds we cannot produce the Bulletin.

Our Membership Secretary, Tim Reed, is updating out records and asks that all members send him their current email address if does not already have it.  Also, and this is of some importance, we are asking those who still currently subscribe to a hard copy of the magazine, if they might consider an electronic version as this is a lot less work but has the twin advantages or portraying much better quality images and these can be saved easily be saved to your own hard drive for future reference and use.

You may be aware of recent changes in legislations (the Data Protection Act) regarding the personal details of members held electronically with which the club must now comply.  Detail are given below.

The club will be holding its AGM at the 2019 Easter Stampex Exhibition on 16th January - we would welcome all members and look forward to seeing your there.
