Request for Material for RPSL Display

As part of our GBPS Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we will be giving a display to the Royal Philatelic Society London (RPSL) on Thursday 10th December 2015. The intention is for the display to consist of a collection of single or dual frames of material submitted by as many members as we can accommodate. We will be aiming to create a balanced display covering as wide a variety of subjects as possible within the frames available to us.

We will have 52 frames in total; the frames at RPSL come in two forms with the 12 wall mounted frames holding 9 sheets (3 x 3) and the 40 free standing frames hold 12 sheets (in 3 rows of 4).

Any member wishing to offer one or two frames of material to form part of this display, please contact the so we can start to plan.

When offering material please provide the following information to enable the creation of a balanced display:
  • Your name
  • The proposed title for your display
  • Whether you would like one or two frames (and whether 9 or 12 sheet frames)
  • A brief description of the subject matter and material to be included
Obviously, we have many more members than we have frames available to us so, depending on the response, we may not be able to accommodate all those members who offer material. Additionally, we may have to restrict displays to a single frame but please do come forward if you would like to be part of the GBPS Diamond Jubilee display; Andy is waiting to hear from you!

Those selected will need to provide a 250-word description of their display for inclusion in the display hand out and ensure their display is delivered (by hand or post) to the RPSL shortly before the display date. The details will be finalised and communicated to those displaying nearer the time.

Early GBPS Memorabilia

In addition, does any member have any interesting memorabilia from the early days of the GBPS suitable for display in a frame or cabinet as part of our presentation to the Royal? If you do then please what you have along with the rough dimensions.
