Here we have a copy of the 2011 Bell Rock 200th anniversary GB envelope. The very attractive cover an informative insertt was designed by Brian Cargill of the Arbroath and District Stamp and Postcard Club in Scotland. Most of the envelopes had postbox "Smiler" stamps with a complementary label on them.

The cover has a very nice insert designed by Brian and the first three covers sold will come with a handout for the 2011 events. The covers some with many different postbox stamps and the cover you receive will not necessarily bear the same stamps as the envelope illustrated.

Unfortunately the stamp and postcard club is winding down and as its secretary and treasurer I have been asked by the members to list the remaining envelopes. All net proceeds will go to the club until its accounts are closed; after that they will go to charity. At the same time a single 43p stamp cover with matching Bell Rock stamp will be listed. These quickly sold out but I have located one copy in the club's holdings.

The postage costs on this item are higher than I would like and, after leaving them unchanged for several years, I have raised them slightly in line with the 2024 postage rates. For lots worth $40 or more I highly recommend the domestic or signed-for tracked service and cannot be responsible for such lots sent by ordinary mail. British buyers pay $2 for postage. 

As I have some fixed-price items anyone who purchases one of my lots might want to look at them before paying. Additional postage is free for subsequent purchases unless they are too big for my normal very low basic rates. If you are buying more than one item please wait for me to send an invoice so I can combine postage.

When payment for lots won is received by teatime British time (it is usually dished up about 4:30) I normally post the item the next morning. Our village post office is closed on Saturdays, however, so if you pay on Friday the item cannot go out until the following Monday.
