Message to Members
This is your site so any suggestion are welcome. I will need help with some aspects. Please send me scans of favourite postal items and Surrey Postal History Group activities past and present. 200dpi J pegs to my Drop Box or E Mail. If you cant scan, I can scan for you, just bring round some items (10 to 20) and I will scan them.
Library
The club holds a large number of books etc on Surrey. If there is any aspect you wise to look up I am sure we can help.
Web Site
Surrey Postal History Group web site on WIX is free but only allows one page. A fee of £10+ per month avails us more pages but the club cannot afford it. So I have opened a 'second front' on my web site www.britishnotes.co.uk for the club to use (from home page click 'News & Info' on top rail and go to the bottom of the page), free of charge. If you know of someone who can build our own web-site please put them in touch with me (Pete).
