West Africa Study Circle

2010

At the March meeting in London there were displays of material from Gambia and of pre-war airmails. At the Salisbury meeting in June all attending were able to contribute to displays of Wartime Airmails and of Postage Due items. Over 20 members enjoyed lunch together during the London 2010 International Exhibition. The November 2010 meeting in London was treated to a display of items from Ascension and St Helena, then to facets of Cameroon.

2011

The meeting on 5th March in London included displays of "West Africa before the UPU" and "Gold Coast mail-route postmarks", followed by a members' miscellany as usual. The next London meeting is on 12th November. As well as the AGM there will be displays of St Helena in the morning, French Cameroun Airmails in the afternoon, and the usual opportunity for brief displays of whatever members choose.

The Salisbury meeting in June 2011 ("Forgeries" and "Village Postmarks") and our weekend conference in Warwick were both very successful.

2012
