As will have been observed in the philatelic press this event,despite the unfavourable weather,was an outstanding success. The Norfolk & Norwich Philatelic Society, who were hosts, merit the highest praise for the way in which everything was organised. They are also to be congratulated on their choice of Chairman The Right Hon. Lord Walsingham, D.S.O., J.P. who carried out his duties with the utmost efficiency coupled with great charm and humour in full measure. In accordance with custom the mornings were devoted to business sessions and the reading of three papers none of which provoked any serious comments. our Study Circle meeting held on the Thursday evening was attended by 10 members and 17 visitors our.
