Annual General Meeting 2009
It's
for the first time in the history of our Society that our Annual General Meeting
(AGM) will be held in the context of a larger event. The friendly relationship
to the Forschungsgemeinschaft Grossbritannien e.V. (FgGB)
made us to organise an event for all philatelists in the German speaking part of
Europe who are collecting the areas Great Britain, Ireland and / or the
Commonwealth.
All members of all the friendlay associated societies are invited to that meeting. In the year 2005 we started our collaboration with the very successful exhibition and booth at the Sindelfingen Fair (Germany). We are expecting up to 100 participants!
It's up to you to be part of that great event as well and take the advantages of meeting other collectors, to participate the auction and to exchange stamps. The event will take place from 2nd to 4th October 2009 in the Hotel Münnich in Münster (Westfalen). Details to the hotel are found here.
We're looking forward seeing you there!
