Quiz Night 28th January 2026

Whether you are casual stamp collector or serious philatelist — test your knowledge of postal history, stamp design, and global geography.

Questions are often divided into specific categories that challenge different areas of expertise.

Postal History & Origins: Focuses on milestones like the History of the Penny Black (the world's first adhesive stamp) or the evolution of the Universal Postal Union.

Geography & "Name the Country": Identifying nations by their unique stamp markings or by countries that do not include their name on stamps (e.g., Great Britain).

Philatelic Terminology: Testing knowledge on technical terms like "perforations," "watermarks," or "first-day covers".

Visual Rounds: Participants may need to identify "missing animals" on topical stamps or recognize "famous heads" (monarchs or presidents) from cropped stamp images.

In the meanwhile - will you recognise anybody or yourselves in his picture, printed in EXPRESS on the 16/09/1993?
