other successful bids along with any information that was contained in the albums.

PLEASE NOTE.

On occasions members may spot a stamp, cover or postcard, that has appeared

in a previous auction. This will not be the same item, it will be a duplicate item

as several of the Lots in the collection are repeated. All Lots not sold go to

either the Packet Secretary or Stock Controller. No “Lot” is ever carried

forward to a future Auction. All funds raised by the Auction will go towards the

club and it’s activities and to the benefit of members.
