\n<\/u><\/span><\/span>Macclesfield & Prestbury Philatelic Society:
\nIn March this year, the Macclesfield & Prestbury Philatelic Society celebrated its 60th anniversary by staging an exhibition entitled ‘Letters from Macclesfield’. Most of what was on display was contained in 19 A-zero sized frames (x16 A4 sheets) that were screwed to the wall. These frames have been retained, either with copies of the material or with the originals, and will fit into a suitably sized car with the rear seats down. We would therefore like to offer to bring the exhibition to you. In the course of one of your afternoon or evening meetings, we can put the frames up across two halves and talk about (1) how we went about putting the exhibition together and how it was received and (2) elements of Macclesfield postal history but with a focus on the more generic material. We have some guide books. At least two of us would accompany the frames to give the talks. The only requirement would be that as the frames are not standalone, they would need to be put onto tables and leant against walls. We would not screw them in!<\/p>\n
