YORKSHIRE PHILATELIC ASSOCIATION 2017 ANNUAL CONVENTION & STAMP FAIR

Sponsored by Grosvenor, the Y.P.A. Annual Convention & Fair was held at the Lawns Conference Centre, Cottingham on Saturday 10th June, an especially high profile event held during Hull’s tenure as UK City of Culture 2017.

Roving philatelic expert Constanze Dennis and Grosvenor Chairman James Grist were in attendance to celebrate the occasion and enjoy the philatelic displays, which presented material of local interest as well as rarities of Great Britain from the collection of Edward Klempka with Cape of Good Hope and Western Australia from that of Richard Debney.

The diligent team of organisers and helpers, who included Dr. Paul Jones, John Sussex, Robert & Daphne McMillan, Graham Winters, Richard & Yvonne Wheatley, Les Goodens, Bill Thorpe, Barry Clark and others too numerous to mention, deserve every congratulation for their hard work and creation of a memorable day.
