Dear Reader
They ran a hard-fought campaign to win
the hearts and minds of the public and
industry leaders; made numerous tempting
promises of ‘what will be’, and were definitely
not shy about singing the praises of both
British ingenuity and the benefits of a united
Europe. Now, all that hard work is about to
pay off. Five years after their success in 2010,
a dedicated and passionate team, united under an iconic blue
banner, are once again destined to make a return to a certain
London address.
No, I am not taking about the Tory return to No 10; I am, of
course, talking about the team of organisers and volunteers that
have spent years preparing the latest London International stamp
exhibition, London 2015: Europhilex. Organised to mark the 175th
anniversary of the Penny Black—the British invention that swept the
world—and with events spanning into Europe, London 2015—the
15th International Exhibition hosted in London—makes a return to
the British Design Centre in Islington.
Five years after the success of London 2010, will Europhilex live
up to its promises by providing another world-class experience for
collectors? It is certainly looking that way. As I write, there are only a
few days left before the doors open on the four-day event and from

Editor John Holman looks back at the July
1914 issue—the last before production was suspended by
World War I.
what has been promised by the organisers, Europhilex certainly gets
my vote—now we will see if it can deliver on them.
Depending on when you pick up your copy of this month’s
GSM,
Europhilex will either be well underway or all over by the time you
are reading this. If you do visit the exhibition we would very much
like to know if it gets your vote of approval. Drop me an email or
write in to the usual address. We look forward to hearing your own
post-event analysis.
Of course, we will bring you a full report of London 2015 in
next month’s issue. To whet your appetite, you can enjoy the final
instalment of Derek Connell’s excellent series covering previous
London Internationals. This month he reaches London 2000, which
once again provided collectors with plenty of memorabilia to hunt
down. Let’s hope Europhilex can offer the same.
Thanks for picking up this month’s issue. I hope you enjoy it.
