SSG & ESC Conference 25th – 27th April, 2025 at the
Morley Hayes Hotel, Morley, Derbyshire, DE7 6DG.
The 2025 conference will be held at our usual and popular venue, the Morley Hayes Hotel, Main Road, Morley, Derbyshire, DE7 6DG, from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th April, 2025.
We have booked 18 rooms for two nights (25th & 26th April) including one room for the nights of 25th and 27th April). We will contact our friends in the ESC shortly with this information. However, if you are a member of ESC or are in contact with anyone who is, then please let them know the dates.
Inevitably, there will be a bourse and an auction with both being held on Sunday morning. We are led to believe that both are quite popular for some reason! When Richard Stock has further information, particularly prices for hotel accommodation he will let you know.
Suggestions for the programme include:
- Postal Stationery
- Commemorative Stamps since Independence (study topic).
- Railway Travelling Post Offices.
- Cancellations of static civilian post offices (revised listing).
If you wish to suggest topics to be considered for displays and study sessions, please email Richard with your proposals. We will aim for a balanced programme. The usual favourites will be included – The “Norton Collier” Trophy Competition (a popular after dinner event on Friday evening) and we need ideas for the Saturday evening session – I look forward to hearing from you.
Plenty of time for members’ displays is very important and the choice of subjects is the decision of members, favourites, new study topics, unusual items and those not previously shown etc., it’s up to everyone!
