Stamp Active, the voluntary organisation that promotes stamp collecting to young people in Great Britain, is urgently looking for people to assist with its activities. In particular, someone is needed to take over the running of Kidstamps, the free postal club for children. This involves putting together the initial starter pack of stamps, activity books and other items and then sending out follow up packs to continuing members several times each year. All resources will be provided by Stamp Active and any costs incurred by the organiser fully re-imbursed. This can obviously be done from home and does not involve any travelling. We are very grateful to Ray Watkins who has run the club in recent years but now has to stand down at the end of the year. We would also like another person to assist with fund-raising.
If you would like to discuss these roles, please contact John Davies on 07528 333416. Your help is needed.

AUSVIPEX 2026, the Australian Virtual Philatelic Exhibition 2026, is an online National Philatelic Exhibition organised by the Australian Philatelic Federation (APF). Participation is open to all exhibitors worldwide. They do not need to be a member of an affiliated organisation.
Exhibits must be of 2-8 frames based on 16 sheets per frame and may come from any of the FIP or APF competitive classes except for the One-Frame Class. Entries close: 30 September 2026.
SRBIJAFILA XVI will be held from 7 to 11 October in Belgrade, Serbia, under FEPA Recognition.
A special place in the Honorary Class is reserved for a display dedicated to Alexander Boricic (1948–2026), featuring nine of his outstanding exhibits.
One of Serbia’s most distinguished philatelists and exhibitors, Boricic left a deep mark on Serbian philately. His interests were broad, ranging from postal history and postage due mail to wartime mail, aviation and airmail. Through these nine exhibits, visitors will be able to explore more than two centuries of the postal history of Serbia, Montenegro and Yugoslavia, together with different areas of his research and collecting.
Thanks to the generosity of his family, this valuable display offers a unique opportunity to see a significant part of his decades-long work and dedication to philately in one place. This is more than a selection of valuable material: it is a tribute to a man, his work and his passion for philately.
