Empire Mail: Georgev And The Gpo, London Uk.

This Exhibition forms part of the Festival of Stamps 2010, being held throughout the year in the UK.
Held at the Guildhall Art gallery, items from the Royal Collection and the British Postal Museum and Archive will be on display.
During the week of the International Exhibition [May 8-15], the Dutch Printers Enschede will be demonstrating the workings of an Intaglio press and will be printing reproductions of the 1929 PUC £1 which will be available in special packs.
The Exhibition promises to be something special.

Anyone wanting a Special pack of reproductions mentioned in the initial post, please post on this thread.
I will be making a list of this, and other items, wanted during the Month of April.

When I have more information available, I will let you know.

Yes, unequivocally, yes. I've forgotten if I've already signed up for this, but it sounds different than the last thingy I liked the sound of.

I think I should front you some cash so that you don't have to finance this extravaganza and collect later.

I'm getting a bit envious. Just a bit...

Goes without saying LB. Your offer of assistance to this Antipodean is greeted with respect!

Yes, this is different from the other items you said you wanted. I will confirm everything mid-April and tell everyone about cost. I would prefer to get the money beforehand and then have the chance to post with appropriate stamps and show cancels.
I am sure there will be other items that may be of interest that can be sorted at a later date if not known beforehand.

Envious?
Sell a few stamps, book a flight and come to the UK in May !

Londonbus1....full of crazy ideas !
