Eddie gets stamp of approval

SO STAMP collecting is all about sticking pretty pictures in a book? Think again.

Guest speaker at the meeting of the Bognor Regis Stamp Club was Eddie Weeks, a senior judge.

He showed members a display of material about all kinds of transport used during the war to transport the injured, including ships, ambulances and trains, along with postcards and letters. Members had their eyes opened to the sheer numbers it involved '“ it ran into millions.

The evening proved there is a lot to be learned about stamp collecting and collectors '“ and how much interest is generated by the hobby.
