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
