David writes"Thanks to all who participated in the last auction. In the end there were 50 buyers and 30 % of lots sold. For this renewal 14 vendors have entered 795 lots of which 52% (417 lots) is newly listed and the re-offered items have generally been discounted significantly so plenty of interest. Please note there will be no unsolds offered as there is so little interest and the process only serves to delay closure and pay the vendors"
PLEASE NOTE
This is the last Auction David will be organising and as such all material for the next (Spring 2026, closing for bids in May) and subsequent auction should be sent to:
The society has agreed to open the auction to non-members. Full instructions on how to bid etc. are enclosed within the catalogue. Non-members will be charged a temporary membership fee of £2 for bidding which will be collected via the won lots statement.
We hope this will provide collectors of all French material with an additional opportunity to enhance their collections. It should also provide a first-hand experience of the benefits which the society can offer and perhaps encourage like minded philatelists to join the society.
Should you wish to join the Society and enjoy all the benefits of membership the Membership Form may be downloaded here.

Items for sale in the auction are welcomed, see the instructions outlined in each auction catalogue. Please support the auctions by adding to your collections. Much hard work goes into running them and the reserves are lower than dealer prices! The Society also benefts from the 10% commission charged to vendors.
