It was a great pleasure for me to be able at attend the second Anniversary meeting at the "Royal " on January 27th and the dinner that followed at the Lord's Tavern. The hard work put into the arrangements for these functions by our Hon. Secretary and Treasurer - Philip Saunders - resulted in a most successful gathering, and I am sure everyone thoroughly enjoyed them selves. In a letter I received from our principal guest W. Ewart Gerrish, Esq., O.B.E. - he says: " It was just wonderful meeting such a friendly crowd."I mentioned at the dinner of the discovery of a very rare Jamaican item; and on my return home I found it awaiting me to examine. It was found by our member Harvey O'Connor of the U.S.A. and is a 1d. blue postcard addressed to Justin McCarthy, Kingston. The stamp is clearly postmarked with the "C" obliterator and Kingston circle cancellation dated 26/2/1884. It also bears Type 1 T.R.D. mark in black dated Laughlands 25/2/1884: On the reverse there is the stamp of Cranbrook, Laughlands P.O., and was sent by one L. Townsend. This is the first and only copy found with the "C" obliterator, and we now have proof it was used at Laughlands. It is also the first record of the Type 1 T.R.D. for Laughlands P.O. which, incidentally, was opened 1/11/1883. To me this is the most remarkable find in Jamaican postmarks in recent years. Another item I have recently seen, and which I believe to be unique, is a Type 16 T.R.D. mark for Myrtle Bank dated 9th May 1910. This Post Office was opened 16/1/1910 and originally had T.R.D. Type 10, so one can only presume it was closed and re-opened with the new Type 16. I look forward to meeting many of our members at the Brighton Congress being held from 5th to 8th June. On this occasion an Exhibition is being held to which specialist societies and study circles have been invited to contribute, and I understand some choice material will be on view in the frames that have been allocated to our Circle.
