However Booth holders can obtain the First Day/Season ticket at £5.00 ($8.-) each and free tickets for all remaining days.  Therefore, as SOSSI is holding the Society AGM in London at that time, Healey & Wise, who are members of SOSSI and who are Booth holders at the show, are offering to provide the Season Ticket at cost price i.e. $8.- to SOSSI members. H & W would also appreciate payment of the mailing and packing costs which will be $2.- making a total of $10.  Remittance can be sent by Credit card (Visa or Access only) or in $ bills.  No US $ checks please as these would cost more to cash than the tickets are worth!

Free tickets for other days than the first day will also be available to SOSSI members but only at the Healey & Wise booth at the Scout Stamp Exhibition in Baden Powell House on Saturday 20th May to those who write ordering them before the end of April.  Questions on tickets only
