About the Society
The Cyprus Study Circle was formed in 1974 and has around 180 members world wide, all sharing an interest in Cyprus Philately and Postal History. We have accumulated over 30 years of research through publication of our Cyprus Circular Post and Study Papers. This information is now available on interactive CD's to members only. The society is very dynamic.

All interests are catered for, from studies of the Austrian Post Office in Larnaca, up to and including varieties on issues of the Cyprus Republic.

Members are supplied with copies of the Cyprus Circular Post the societies own journal of study, plus Study Papers, and a News Letter post free as part of their membership. Read on to find out about other aspects of the society, including Philatelic Auctions.

Meetings of the Society
Meetings are held twice a year in London, and offer:

• Displays
• Annual Competitions
• Auctions
• An opportunity to meet and discuss the hobby with fellow Cyprus collectors

Communication is maintained by a newsletter, incorporated in our journal the Cyprus Circular Post, which is currently in its 16th volume (6 Issues per Volume). The Cyprus Circular Post is issued three times per year, and contains up to the minute research and information on Cyprus Philately, including details of new issues.

The society frequents many philatelic events, and is always willing to work with other philatelic groups in joint ventures.

Philatelic Auctions
Our Auctions include 500+ lots of stamps, postal history, books, postcards etc (the summer auctions are especially large) with full postal bidding facilities available. Other services include the exchange packet (operates in the UK only) and a library of books which cover both Cyprus philately, and Cyprus in general.

eMail Forum
An email forum is operated between those of our members who have the facility, controlled by the Membership Secretary. This has been, and is, used effectively to pass information to members, and aid research projects. All questions and responses are published in the Cyprus Circular Post.

Study and Publications
The society has an excellent library available to its membership only for use at its meetings and in some cases for loan. See the listing here.

The members of the Study Circle have produced a number of significant Study Papers on philatelic issues relating to Cyprus Mail (see Useful Information), and are always working on additional material for new papers.

Cyprus Circular Post
We produce the Cyprus Circular Post circulated free to our members - copies of past issues are obtainable. (see also Useful Information). Our CCP Editor ever eager to get copies of the CCP to members as quickly as possible is currently carrying out trials using email designated iCCP, initial trials have been quite successful.
