"ASSOCIATED" STAMPS PAGE 1

ATTENTION - ALL CRICKET STAMP COLLECTORS

We would like to bring to your attention the fact that there is a

CRICKET PHILATELIC SOCIETY

which issues a regular Quarterly Production called

"WICKETS"

This publication deals with interesting stories about CRICKET stamps and Collectors, as well as giving good advice to readers.

Membership is a very nominal amount as follows:

United Kingdom members - £6 per year

Europe - £8 per year

Overseas - £12 per year

Australasia - $A24 per year

Why not enrol today and enjoy receiving "Wickets" regularly to keep you in touch with other Cricket Collectors around the world?

Your payment can be made in Sterling to "Cricket Philatelic Society"

c/o Mel-Brown, 11 Weppons, Ravens Road

Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex, BN43 5AW, England

or in Australian Dollars to David Kirby, whose address you will find below.

 
ASSOCIATED STAMPS are those which are issued by Bona-fide Postal Authorities around the world, but whose CRICKET theme is not readily apparent - serious enthusiasts have researched the subject and found interesting "Associations" with the game, which are usually explained in the text.

{NOTE: Because so many issued stamps can be "Associated" with CRICKET, indirectly, or in some cases, obtusely, these items listed below give details ONLY as a reference, of issues previously discovered or researched by "ENTHUSIASTS". It is up to each individual collector to decide how far to go in the definition of "Associated" stamps - otherwise you may run the risk of lining the pockets of unscrupulous  dealers or agents who may find a way of "unloading" material onto a market which collects "everything". It is your choice!}
