More Francis J. Field

"The senior holder of the Congress Medal [the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain] is John Field, son of the famous air mail philatelic dealer of Sutton Coldfield, and he was awarded it in 1979."

John Field seems to still be with us as President of the Streetly Philatelic Society.

On the 4th May, Streetly Philatelic Society is meeting at the United Reformed Church, Brassington Avenue, Sutton Coldfield at 10.30am. This event seems to include a talk on the 'Postal History of Sutton Coldfield - Part II' by T. Poynton.
