For Cricket Lovers .....
At Lord's cricket ground on 30th June a special set of stamps commemorating the 2009 Ashes series was released. Britain's secret little post office at Bletchley Park has got together with the Isle of Man Post Office and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to celebrate an Ashes Summer. The result is a presentation pack and first day cover for three unique stamps. One features W G Grace playing at Lord's, another shows the Ashes urn with the crystal trophy and the third a Karen Neale painting of the 2005 series. The stamps are featured against a backdrop of a match at Lord's.
A good licking for the "Ashes".
England has not beaten Australia at Lord's since 1934, so this time perhaps?Either way cricket fans can give the "Ashes " a good licking with a newstamp issue on sale at Lord's from the 16th July. A strange combination ofthe MCC, the Isle of Man and a secret little post office has produced a setof postage stamps commemorating cricket's best-known clash.Bletchley Park is best known for its wartime links with the enigma codebreakers. But the tiny post office that was once an undercover mailroom hasbeen issuing stamps and first day covers for the MCC since 2004. On bigmatch days at Lord's fans queue up to get these limited edition littlepieces of cricket art and history.For 2009 they have teamed up with the Isle of Man Post Office to issue a setof stamps featuring the work of cricket artists Christina Pierce and KarenNeale.
