Hi people. I have been collecting stamps (mainly GB and Poland) since the 60's. Unfortunately it was not until I moved to Chile in 2007 that I got around to organising & cataloguing them (well, most anyway) with BFDC British Stamp Organiser and SG and Scott's catalogues . I returned to the UK in 2010 and continued tidying everything, but then I got (foolishly) hooked into postcards (GB PHQ and other similar interesting cards). I have limited my GB stamp (definitives) collection to 1910-2020; Miniature Sheets 1978-2020; Commemoratives 1924-2009; FDC definitives, commemoratives and regional 1937-1990 and other 'odd' items I found interesting (e.g. booklets, stamp sheets etc)! Regarding Poland, my Polish uncle sent me stamps regularly during the 60s and early 70s which I have added to over the years. Much of which I purchased were through eBay and Delcampe.
When in the UK 2010-2020 I joined the Rushden and District Stamp Club (Northamptonshire) where one of my presentations won the cup for 2016 and a joint win in 2018. It now seems to have closed shop; most members were 'elderly' and I wonder if some of them have licked their last hinge.
I am now back in Chile (and my Spanish is non-existent) and hope to continue 'organising' and will also be asking the Forum to help me out with a few queries! Whether my knowledge will be of any use is another matter...
