The Emergence of the Balkan States

 Paul Walton, November 28th 

The emergence of the Balkan states is a fascinating and complex part of history. The Balkan Peninsula, located in Southeastern Europe, has a rich and turbulent history that has significantly shaped its modern identity.

Very well organised collection with avalanche of dates and governors for the every period of change.

 

  

 

Competition Evening October 17th 2024

Roger Blackburn Cup - 6 pages of any topic

Presidents Trophy - 1 page letter M 

Nice evening again with a good number of displays on various subjects - you probably knew the Mallard is a wild duck but what about Mallard the Locomotive? Have you seen the South Africa Stamps dedicated to the Gold Mine from 1930's to 1948? Or Western Europe stamps, picturing 22 different Monarchs of the XIX century - all on one page?

The list goes on of the things, discovered that night also the Trophies have been awarded.
