The History of Congress
Maintaining a long tradition, each year the ABPS organises the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain.
The first Philatelic Congress of Great Britain was held in Manchester in 1909. Barring interruptions due to war and pandemics, they have been held annually ever since. The venue moves each year. Congress is the opportunity to meet with fellow collectors for a relaxing few days in pleasant surroundings. The events include discussions, displays and visits, plus the ever-enjoyable Congress Banquet.
The highlight for many is the occasion at which the Congress Medal is presented.
Other organisations, particularly the major stamp auction houses, also often host special events during the Congress.
Congress provides an ideal way of enjoying oneself in the company of fellow collectors.
For those with a special interest in the history and the collection of memorabilia connected with the PCGB, this area of collecting is covered by The Cinderella Stamp Club. See there website https://cinderellastampclub.com
