Bill Barrell
Head to stand 69 to meet line engraved experts, Mike Williams and Graham Stockdale who will plate your 1d blacks and 1d reds free of charge. Also, if you have any ‘oxidised’ GB line engraved stamps then they will reverse the chemical reaction for you – watch them put 1d blacks into water!

Want to give xTreme Philately a go? We will be hosting a special display of some of the very best #xtremephilately images to admire and inspire.

On Saturday, we have a whole host of societies scheduled to meet including the GBPS, Philatelic Congress of Great Britain Study Group, Ceylon Study Circle, Egypt Study Circle and East Anglia Postal History as well as others. This is a great opportunity to join a new society or meet them face-to-face.
Youth Zone
The Youth Zone and Stamp Active are back. The kid’s auction is scheduled for 2pm on Saturday 1st October and is a big hit with the younger generation, as they are able to bid on lots and enjoy their very own auction.
