NEW ABPS GENERAL SECRETARY APPOINTED

Colin Searle has now taken over as the new General Secretary for the Association of British Philatelic Societies following the resignation of Mike Brindle. Colin is well known to many in the Midlands as Newsletter Editor and Convention Officer of the Midlands Philatelic Federation and other roles. He was the organising Secretary for the recently held ABPS Congress at Stratford on Avon which was highly praised. He is also Secretary of Midpex.

Phil Kenton, Chairman of ABPS, commented “Mike Brindle has done a good job for the ABPS and we are sorry to lose him. They say if you want something doing well, give it to a busy fellow and Colin is certainly that. As he has a number of roles in philately already, he has the experience of running many highly successful philatelic events and his enthusiasm and organisational skills are a great asset to the Association.”

The ABPS actively represents the interests of UK collectors and societies at home and abroad.
