The Egypt Study Circle, formed in 1935, is devoted to the study of Egyptian philately. The Circle meets on Saturdays (as per programme) at 2 pm at the Victory Services Club, Seymour Street, London (near Marble Arch) or at Stampex.
The ESC magazine The Quarterly Circular is mailed, by air for overseas, to all members four times a year.
The ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION is £20.00 which is due on January 1 each year. However members joining after August 1 may pay £10 for the remainder of that year.
The ESC maintains a small library of books related to Egypt, some of them non-philatelic. These may be borrowed by UK members, who will be charged postage.
There are two Auctions each year, of members' surplus material, open to members only. A small commission is charged to aid Circle funds.
The ESC welcomes new members who collect Egypt and wish to share their knowledge. Applicant members are reviewed at the next available meeting and almost invariably accepted into membership. Please note that members of the philatelic trade are not normally accepted unless they are bona fida collectors in their own right of Egyptian philately.
It is hoped that members will co-operate in studying various aspects of Egyptian philately and the section on queries and answers is one of the most important features of the QC. It is also appreciated, however, that all must start somewhere - so if you are a beginner and wish to lean about Egyptian philately then joining the ESC is an excellent place to start.
If you collect Egypt and are interested in joining, and thus enhancing your enjoyment of the hobby, please fill in the application form and enclose a cheque for subscription payable to the Egypt Study Circle. You nomination will be proposed at the next meeting and if accepted your name will be added to the mailing list: you automatically qualify to receive that year's QC back copies. If it is possible for you to visit London to coincide with a meeting, just come along and meet the gang before committing yourself: visitors are always assured of a warm welcome, either at the meeting itself or in the bar beforehand.
