Did you know? The 2015 Rugby World Cup was the eighth Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial rugby union world championship. The tournament was hosted by England from 18 September to 31 October. Of the 20 countries competing in the World Cup in 2011, there was only one change, Uruguay replaced Russia. This was the first World Cup with no new teams to the tournament. Reigning champions New Zealand won the cup and defended their title by defeating Australia in the final 34–17, South Africa defeated Argentina to take third place. New Zealand were the first team to retain their title and the first to win for a third time. The highly contested match between Japan and South Africa on the opening weekend, in which Japan scored the winning try in the final minute, was widely considered the biggest upset in the history of rugby. England were eliminated at the pool stage, after defeats by Wales and Australia; this was the first time any host nation had failed to progress to the knockout stage. 2 Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF COMPBC5A Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] SERIES 5 CHECKLIST l Classic Children’s Television l 150th Anniversary Alice in Wonderland 7th January 2014 6th January 2015 ¨ BC501 Bagpuss, Canterbury Postmark ...................................... £35 ¨ BC516 The Red Queen, Oxford postmark ................................. £20 ¨ BC501A Ivor the Engine, Blean, Canterbury postmark .............. £25 ¨ BC516A The Mad Hatter, Oxford postmark ................................. £20 l British Working Horses l Happy Families 4th February 2014 20th January 2015 ¨ BC502 The British Horse Society & Born Free, ¨ BC517 Smilers, Motherwell postmark ......................................... £25 Clydesdale postmark ....................................................................... £30 ¨ BC517M Miniature sheet, Motherwell postmark .......................... £30 l Classic Locomotives of Wales l Post & Go Working Sail 20th February 2014 18th January 2015 ¨ BC503 Stamps, Swansea postmark ............................................ £20 ¨ BC518 Bureau stamps and labels, River Thames postmark .... £20 ¨ BC518B Machine stamps and labels, River Thames postmark . £25 ¨ BC503M Miniature sheet, Welshpool postmark ........................... £20 l Inventive Britain l Post & Go Spring Flowers 19th February 2014 19th February 2015 ¨ BC504 Bureau stamps and labels, Flora Daventry postmark .. £30 ¨ BC519 Stamps, Cambridge postmark ....................................... £25 ¨ BC504B Machine stamps and labels, Flora Daventry postmark .. £30 l Bridges l Remarkable Lives 5th March 2015 25th March 2014 ¨ BC520 Forth Rail Bridges, North Queensferry postmark ........... £30 ¨ BC505 Desert Island, Plomely Close Gillingham postmark ...... £30 ¨ BC520A Royal Border Bridges, Berwick upon Tweed postmark £20 ¨ BC505A Spitfire, Beaulieu postmark .............................................. £20 l Comedy Greats l Buckingham Palace 1st April 2015 14th April 2014 ¨ BC521 Stamps, Laughterton, Lincoln postmark ........................ £20 ¨ BC506 Stamps ............................................................................... £30 l 175th Anniversary of the Penny Post ¨ BC506M Miniature sheet, Buckingham Palace postmark .......... £20 6th May 2015 l Great British Films ¨ BC522A Stamps, Bath postmark ................................................... £20 13th May 2014 ¨ BC522M Miniature sheet, Bath postmark ..................................... £25 ¨ BC507 Stamps, Shepperton Middlesex postmark .................... £30 l Post & Go Heraldic Beasts ¨ BC507M Miniature sheet, The Night Mail, Shapfell Penryth Cumbria postmark ............................................................................ £20 13th May 2015 ¨ BC523 Bureau stamps and labels, Kew postmark .................... £20 l Sustainable Fish ¨ BC523B Machine stamps and labels, Kew postmark ................ £20 5th May 2014 ¨ BC508 Fisherman’s Beach, Hythe postmark ............................. £20 l Centenary of the Great War 14th May 2015 l Commonwealth Games ¨ BC524 Halt!
