Some 58 members and guests attended this special weekend meeting. The President David Gurney, Chairman, Dave Edwards and Secretary Gerald Marriner welcomed everyone during the Friday afternoon opening session and various notices were given. Dawn Gallienne from the Guernsey Post Office was introduced to the meeting.
Following dinner on the Friday evening a three sheet ‘fun’ competition was held. Fifteen members took part and the winner was David Le Maistre with ‘Greve De Lecq’. Alan Moorcroft was second and Shirley Hancock third.
A number of dealers attended a sales session on the Saturday morning which was followed by a very successful auction.
The main presentation of the weekend was provided by Ron Brown and was a superb display of mail and ephemera from and to Civilian Prisoners. The display included items connected with George Fox, Winifred Green, Eugene Le Lievre, Percy Miller, John Nicolle, William Symes, Clifford Queree, Stanley Green and in particular John Ingroville. This was a touching and poignant presentation and enjoyed by all those present.
