SUMMARY:Shropshire Stamp Fair
DESCRIPTION:Residents could unknowingly have valuable items hidden in their homes\, according to a Shropshire group.\nShropshire Philatelic Society is calling on people to search out long-forgotten stamp albums ahead of their annual Stamp Fair on Saturday 4th October.\nFree valuations will be on offer throughout the event\, which runs from 10am to 4pm at Halls Auction Centre in Battlefield\, Shrewsbury.\nThe society’s President Nick Webb explains: “Even if they’re not collectors themselves\, we know people across Shropshire will potentially have been gifted albums – perhaps from parents or grandparents – that may have been left in their loft or at the back of a cupboard for years or maybe decades.\n“They may not realise the true value of the album and\, whether or not they would consider parting with it\, our Stamp Fair is the perfect time to find out just how prized their forgotten possession might be.\n“Our events also naturally attract collectors who will no doubt be looking forward to meeting the 12 dealers we have confirmed as attending\, alongside Halls valuation specialist\, Andy Neal.”\nAttendees will be able to browse affordable stamps from around the world with themes including trains\, wildlife\, royalty and space.\n“If you or perhaps your children are seeking a new hobby\, then the Stamp Fair is the perfect chance to see why so many people around the world enjoy stamp collecting\,” Nick added.\n“For curious kids\, it’s a fantastic screen-free way to explore history\, geography and culture\, not to mention an activity which could see them end up with an extremely valuable collection in the future!”\nFounded in 1947 and meeting in Shrewsbury\, Shropshire Philatelic Society is open to anyone with an interest in stamps\, postcards\, postal history and postal stationery. Meetings are held twice a month\, with external speakers\, an annual competition\, and displays of members’ own material.\nFor more information about the society or the fair itself\, email David Poynton at d.j.poynton2@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Korea Stamp Society - The Unforgotten War
DESCRIPTION:On 11 November 2025\, the Korea Stamp Society will sponsor ‘Korea – The Unforgotten War’\, a one-day celebration dedicated to the history and philately of the Korean peninsula from Liberation in 1945 to the Armistice in 1953. It will take place at the Royal Philatelic Society London in the City of London. \nThis special event coincides with the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War and brings together collectors\, historians\, and postal scholars from around the world. \nThe programme will open with a welcome by Tony Bard FRPSL\, followed by an address by Martin Uden\, former British Ambassador to South Korea and the current President of the British Korean War Veterans’ Association. \nThe impressive line-up of presentations will commence with Dr Owen Miller of the School of Oriental and African Studies\, who will examine the nature of the Korean War itself\, while Dr James Goulty will provide an overview of the British Armed Forces’ role between 1950 and 1953. After lunch\, Dr James Grayson will talk on the first stamp issues of both North and South Korea after 1945. The day will conclude with Tony Bard FRPSL presenting ‘Aspects of Korean War Postal History\,’ linking the human experience of the conflict with the tangible traces left in letters and covers. \nAlongside the lectures\, visitors will enjoy an extensive range (50 frames\, or 800 album sheets) of philatelic displays highlighting major aspects of Korean postal history during this turbulent period. These exhibits\, generously contributed by many of the leading specialists in post-1945 Korean philately worldwide\, will provide a rare opportunity to view material seldom seen in public. \nAttendance is free and is open to all interested collectors and researchers. Registration is required — please contact Tony Bard at koreanwar75@gmail.com for details. The Korea Stamp Society is proud to support this important event\, continuing its mission of promoting Korean philately internationally since 1952.’
