The first Philatelic Congress of Great Britain was held in Manchester in 1909. Barring interruptions due to war, they have been held annually ever since. The venue moves each year. Congress is the opportunity to meet with fellow collectors for a relaxing few days in pleasant surroundings. The events include discussions, displays and visits, plus the ever-enjoyable Congress Banquet.
Congress 2018 will run from 26-29 July 2018 at the Gateshead Quays Jury’s Inn.
Congress is part of ABPS – for more information see here
