Hello everyone. My name is Neil and I live in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, on the West Coast of Canada.
I have been collecting stamps for most of my life. For the past 20 years I have focused on postal history, aerophilately and social philately. My specific collecting interest is the 1935 Silver Jubilee issue of King George V.
I have also tried to improved my philatelic knowledge through writing articles and exhibiting. Both activities have opened up new vistas and a greater appreciation of the hobby.
I have joined the Forum so as to further expand my knowledge and meet new and interesting people.

Thanks for your intro, Neil (@philatel2), and welcome to TSF! As it happens, we have another long-time TSF member who joined us from Saskatchewan originally, but relocated to Victoria a couple of years ago. His name is Mark ( madbaker).... perhaps the two of you will be able to meet. Anyway, as Chris ( cjoprey) stated and Steve ( Admin) confirmed, we do have a regular newsletter, and if you are inclined to writing articles, it would be an excellent way to contribute to the Forum. Please enjoy your time with us, -Chris ( Beryllium Guy)  US expatriate living in the UK |

Hey Neil! @philatel2 Glad you joined us. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
As Chris mentioned, I moved to Victoria a couple of years ago, just before Covid hit. Looking forward to joining the local clubs soon, but I sure haven't been lacking too much stamp-wise. The crew here is awesome. 💖

Welcome!
Quite a special interest...
What's so special about that 1935 silver jubilee, in philately?

Welcome, I will be in Victoria in May, wish I was there now. Still under the white stuff here in Port Perry, Ontariariario.
I do like that issue, as most of us do. Can you share the history of the design. I know HM GV was an avid philatelist, did he help in the craft of the set? My person favourite is the £ PUC, still trying to get a nice one used!
Cheers
Roy
