Kettering Philatellic Society paid us a visit on March 17th, with Terry Hughes treating us to examples of 'missile mail' and US submarines.  Gordon Tredigido completed the evening with the curious tale of the suspected murderess Madeleine Smith of Glasgow - eventually cleared of charges against her by an Edinburgh jury, relying in part on evidence of post marks!

On March 31st, Dr. Ken Flint showed us his extensive collection of Canadian material including postal history and covers showing mail from the Old crow settlement in the Yukon (which was in Canada but used USA postal systems until told not to), and many examples of covers and postcards from the 'dead letter' post office - which could not be delivered for various reasons including underpayment and insufficient postage.

NOTE: the Canada evening was the last opportunity to submit details of lots for the next auction, and we now have over 100 so PLEASE BRING YOUR MONEY on the evening of Tuesday 14th April.  Thank you!
