The Society was formed in 1960 by the late Frank R. Saunders. There
are currently about 400 members living in 27 countries.
The main aim of the Society is to
bring together all those interested in the stamps of the reign of King George
VI.
The Society holds regular meetings where KGVI material is
displayed and discussed. An auction for members, open to postal bidding,
coincides with the Annual General Meeting in April.
The Society issues a quarterly magazine - GEOSIX. It contains research, queries and answers,
news of discoveries, auction realisations and other information about the Society.
Since 1960 members have produced many erudite papers and articles covering
such topics as stamp design, printings, shades and varieties. Please see the
publications page.
If you are interested in philately during the KGVI period and wish to become a member
then please contact the Secretary of the Society. Details on the contacts page.
