€uro Currency; We are happy to accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.7928, so we are allowing 79p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and notes.

There's a head of steam building up of demand for another series of our popular stamp workshops. Our apologies for not having had anything for a while due to other pressures, but it is our definite intention to have a new batch of classes perhaps about September. Keep in touch - and if you have any areas that you would like to see covered, please feel free to suggest them.

For those of you who don’t already know, Mike Humphries will be retiring at the end of July. I know he’ll be missed in the shop and at the auctions, and hope that customers will find the time to have a few words with him before he goes.

This auction has material belonging to 56 different vendors.

Following last month’s note that mentioned that Adrienne Murray was running the Edinburgh Marathon, and looking for sponsorship, here’s a note from her; “It was a memorable day and Adrienne ran the Marathon in a personal best time of 4hrs 39mins 09secs, raising nearly £1,000 for Cancer Research UK in memory of her mum. She would like to thank the many people who were incredibly kind and generous in their sponsorship. You know who you are.”
Adrienne’s online sponsorship page is still open at www.runningsponsorme.org/adriennemurray1
