MIDPEX 2025 Going Ahead
MIDPEX is the biennial exhibition first held in 1995 and attended by stamp collectors from across the UK. It brings together Specialist Societies with local, national and international dealers covering all aspects of Philately. The spacious venue is the same with extensive free parking and a free shuttle bus from Leamington Spa railway station. It provides an opportunity for Specialist Societies to show off their sphere of interest to other collectors, to recruit members and identify common ground with members of other Societies.
It also provides an opportunity for Societies to promote their publications and research projects and for members to meet informally, particularly those members who find it difficult to get to meetings in London. The event in 2025 has again expanded with space for ephemera and post card dealers as well as stamps, thematics and postal history. There is only space for 50 dealers and at least 30 Specialist Societies are expected to support the Show.
For more information and booking forms, please contact Steven Harrison by email: sharrison500@btinternet.com
