The continual changes made by Royal Mail are always in the newsletters and now that the catalogue updates are available on the web will make a lot of difference.<br />The SG magazine which gives regular updates to their listings is not a free publication cost something like £36.00 per year, so the small charge of £10.00 to keep up to date is worthwhile.<br />i am also not afraid to put my name to this comment<br />Alec Withell<br />Machin Specialistalec withellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-66238605420806703262011-06-30T19:28:24.872-12:002011-06-30T19:28:24.872-12:00This is an offensive posting on which I am pretty ...This is an offensive posting on which I am pretty sure Mervyn will not bother to comment. A new MCC catalogue is not an "update". SG publish their updates free in the SG magazine but certainly don't give away free catalogues!

Your comments against the MCC and i...Oh dear Larry,<br />Your comments against the MCC and its on line catalogue service really do have to be answered.<br /><br />The new on line version of the MCC catalogue was launched because collectors suggested it - i.e. there was a need for collectors to be kept up to date in the years between new editions being printed.<br /><br />As you are aware the MCC QEII Specialised Definitive Catalogue is the most comprehensive catalogue of its type in the world covering all aspects of QEII definitives - and the most respected. After all, many of its sections, naturally mainly those covering books, were written by members of the now MBPC!! <br /><br />But this catalogue not only covers books - it covers Wilding Single stamps, booklets, booklet panes, all pre-decimal single stamps, books, coil strips leaders and panes, but also Decimal Coil stamps and leaders, Cylinder blocks, Warrant (Date) blocks, Se-tenant pairs, Prestige Books, Prestige Panes, Christmas Books, Greetings books, Self Adhesive issues, Training stamps, Regional Issues - there are almost 1300 pages in full colour throughout and written by experts in their own field. AND most items are clearly priced with true retail prices - NOT false catalogue values.<br /><br />Your readers are welcome to visit our sites www.machins.org, www.mcccatalogue.co.uk or www.suttonstamps.co.uk to judge for themselves.<br /><br />You see, the MCC only started in 1996 when a need was identified for a new service for Machin collectors. We have now had 1854 members join in that time and are still welcoming new members weekly. Our twice yearly fairs at Dunchurch are always very well attended and we are constantly striving to improve our services further. That is why, at £10 a year for UK members, membership of the MCC is by far the best 'value for money service' on offer. <br /><br />Not only for Machin collectors but GB members in general.<br /><br />Your readers might also like to know that we are (almost) always available to help members or readers - and sometimes non members. Our phone number is published on the web and our address is known worldwide. We do not hide behind PO Boxes, Email addresses or telephone answering services!! <br /><br />That is what I mean by offering the best service, catalogue and club facilities for collectors worldwide.<br /><br />Melvyn Philpott<br />Machin Collectors ClubAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
