Notes of Interest
This Year's Exhibition
The annual exhibition this year will take place on Saturday - Sunday 12-13 June. The theme this year will be the 1935 Pictorials, as it is 75 years since they were issued. Members are invited to enter exhibits, of either 4,8, or 16 pages, in any of the following classes: Traditional, Postal History, Thematic, or Post Cards. Exhibits do not need to relate to the overall 1935 Pictorials theme. The usual souvenir sheet will be made available, and there is a competition for a winning design for the miniature sheet. The design for this should relate to the 1935 Pictorials theme of the Exhibition.
