Match Label News is the official journal of the British Matchbox Label and Booklet Society (BML&BS). It aims to keep members abreast of news and events inside the BML&BS as well as in other phillumenic organisations throughout the world. It includes reviews of the latest publications of interest to phillumenists. Match Label News is currently only available in English but it does include news of publications in other languages. As well as bringing you the latest news in the hobby it publishes research and information on older issues too.

Match Label News includes auction lists for auctions held at BML&BS meetings. An ever popular postal auction is also held in every issue along with regular updates to the Membership List. Though only members may sell items in auctions at events, bidding is open to visitors attending a meeting. Members may place proxy bids by post and email. Only BML&BS members may sell and buy in the Postal Auctions.

BML&BS membership entitles you to receive Match Label News six times a year for an annual subscription of only £12 (GBP). Despite our name incorporating the word "British" members outside Great Britain are especially encouraged. Arrangements are available to pay for membership through PayPal.

Previous issues, whilst stocks last are available to non-members for £3.50 plus postage and packing. Priority is given to new members to receive the latest issue, so it is the policy of the BML&BS not to make the latest issue available to non-members. The only way you can be sure to obtain the latest issue of Match Label News is to join the BML&BS.
