As usual the discussion started with developments in the World of Philately and Numismatics. There were not much release of stamps by India Posts recently. Mr. Prabhakar Kamath intimated about new coin release specially the Rs.1000 denomination coin of Brihadeeshwar Temple.

The highlight of the meeting was that all the members enjoyed the Coin exhibition of Mr.Raghava Achar as it was on the historical coins of Mangalore and a big pack of books on Numismatics donated by N.Rajgopal Hebbar, which is a big addition to our library.( The list of books will be published later)

Though it was raining there was a good number of members present and the Philatelic bureau was open for the members. Monthly lucky dip was also held for the Members. There were also many mediapersons present, who have given us a good publicity, for which the Association is thankful to them.  (Look for the links to Meida reports at the end)
