Maksi Ravne 2026, the 5th Quadrennial inter-society philatelic exhibition of postcards, maximum cards and open philately with international participation, took place in Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia. The exhibition of promotional rank II was attended by 36 exhibitors from Austria, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, North Macedonia, and Spain.
The Philatelic Society at Ravne na Koroškem, a recipient of the FEPA Certificate of Appreciation in 2019, has long been responsible for the youth philatelic circle at the local primary school, attended by 16 boys and girls. It was therefore no coincidence that the exhibition’s Commissioner General was himself a former participant. It was also particularly pleasing and encouraging that these youngsters contributed to the musical programme at the opening ceremony.
Veni Ferant, an expert on picture postcards, gave a presentation on postcards of Mt Saint Michel, emphasising research into the various publishers and printers and their techniques. One day of the exhibition was dedicated to the Postcrossing movement; this was the fifth meeting of postcrossers in Slovenia in the past three years.
The Philatelic Federation of South Africa (PFSA) has announced the eleventh South African Virtual Philatelic Exhibition, SAVPEX 2026, featuring one- or two-frame exhibits, which will be available for viewing on the PFSA website.

Everyone is invited to take part in a new initiative being launched at the Royal*2026*ROYALE in Kitchener-Waterloo on June 12-14.
*Freestyle Philately* is intended to provide a friendly space for sharing your stamp stories in a non-competitive setting. It’s easy to participate and a time will be set aside during the show for participants to interact with the public and a facilitator. Sharing is one of the greatest joys of our hobby. Take this opportunity to share something you love from your collection – you may find others with the same interests.
