On 25th November at 11:30 am FEPA is organising a panel discussion on “Philately – Forever in the shadows?” at the Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo. This discussion will form part of the MONACOPHIL 2022 exhibition. The panel host will be Charles Epting, CEO of H.R. Harmer in New York, who has been very active in promoting philately on-line with his “Conversations with Philatelists”. The panel will include several interesting participants and we are expecting to have a good discussion about how to improve our image and capture the interest of a broader and younger audience.
Details of the programme here. Do join us. We will be very glad to see you.

A special show at the upcoming IBRA 2023: “When postage cost billions, 100 years of high inflation in Germany 1923”. German inflation started rising slowly with World War I in 1914 and lasted until the so-called “hyperinflation” in November 1923. No other industrialised country in the world was confronted with such extreme currency devaluation as Germany. Inflation came to an end with the introduction of the Rentenmark.
The uniqueness of German inflation is reflected in postal history. During the final phase of inflation, postal rates were only valid for a few days before the next increase. This makes the subject of inflation one of the most fascinating, exciting and complex collecting areas in German philately. It is not a coincidence that INFLA-Berlin, which specialises in the subject, is the largest ArGe in BDPh with over 900 members.
The 100th anniversary of hyperinflation in 2023 is reason enough for the IBRA 2023 to dedicate a special show to the topic of inflation. The special show is organised in close cooperation with INFLA-Berlin.

A few days ago we received an email from the editors of Les Congolâtres, a digital philatelic bulletin (as they modestly like to call it). The name of the publication itself is a direct invitation to collectors and enthusiasts of the former colony of Belgian Congo.
Les Congolâtres is a bimonthly magazine of mostly research articles, totally bilingual (in French and English), offered free of charge, which may be downloaded in pdf format or alternatively read in web book (Issuu) format.
You are invited to visit the editors’ website at https://www.philafrica.be/CONGOLATRES to discover the magazine and a lot more on Belgian Congo than you might expect.
