Hello, if you collect Great Britain Machins and Wildings then the following might be interesting news for you.

The British Decimal Stamps Study Cicle (BDSSC) has merged with the GB Decimal
Stamp Book Study Circle (GB DSB SC) to form the Modern British Philatelic Circle.

 The new organization was inaugurated on 1st January 2006  You can have a look at 
http://www.bdssc.co.uk  for more information.   

As often with things philatelic a cover was produced – nice, simple and clean  
(Inauguration of the 2  associations)  1st Jan 2006. 

I have recently had some emails from new collectors and one of the questions I have had
is what is a gutter pair. Tomorrow I will show you in pictures, some nice ones issued here 
in Australia and a maybe one or two from Great Britain.

Best wishes.. Enjoy your stamps..     Michael
