| The GBCC joins
Royal Mail in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the
Machin definitives. Webmaster’s note: I did not create the above image. Royal Mail did. It’s the only free souvenir of the occasion. |
The Great Britain Collectors Club (GBCC) brings together collectors of Great Britain stamps and related items. It offers something for everyone, regardless of level of experience or years of collecting. We have members who are neophytes and we have very knowledgeable veterans who are willing to help any interested Great Britain collector. The emphasis is on having an educational and friendly society. Help is available to any member asking information or advice, or just for sharing of the hobby.
Our congratulations to GBCC President Tim Burgess on winning the Reserve Grand Award at Filatelic Fiesta 2006 for his exhibit “The One Penny Perforated Stars of Great Britain, 1848-1864.” See Tim’s web site here.
Some articles from GBCC’s quarterly journal, The Chronicle, are reprinted on this site. Of special interest are the “In The Spotlight” interviews with key members of the philatelic community.
New or updated articles:
Interview with Karl Louis, Philatelic Expertiser and Sleuth
Postal Rates of the Machin Era
The GBCC has several publications of interest to Great Britain Collectors. The quarterly journal, The Chonicle, features many regular columnists and articles spanning a wide range of topics. The GBCC Handbook of British Philately for the Intermediate Collector is a complete guide to British philately. New members of the GBCC receive a 15% discount on Handbook purchases during their first year of membership.
The GBCC holds meetings at major philatelic events throughout the year. Upcoming meetings are announced here. There are several show reports with photographs. Do join us for an enjoyable and educational experience.
