EFIRO 2024 in Bucharest, Romania, under way
EFIRO 2024 European exhibition with 2000 frames, under FEPA patronage and FIP recognition, will take place between 17 and 20 April 2024. The exhibition was smartly placed on the 2024 calendar between the Catholic (31 March) and the Orthodox Easter (5 May).
The organisers announced an expo sales and a collectors fair, rarities from private collections and museums, various events and competitions for the youth, philatelic presentations and seminars. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to admire the world’s largest private collection of Romanian philately, explore the Museum of Romanian Records, get acquainted with the Palace of the Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), the second largest administrative building in the world, and of course stroll around the historical centre of Bucharest and enjoy traditional Romanian dishes.
These and much more will be uploaded shortly on the exhibition website: http://www.efiro.ro

The Rowland Hill Medal Winners
We copied the announcement from the Museum of Philately website:
Museum of Philately awards the Rowland Hill Medal at the prestigious stamp show Monacophil on Friday 25th November 2022, in Monte Carlo. As an online Museum, we celebrate great and award-winning collections that promote, educate, and inspire viewers, illustrating the wonderful diversity of what has been called many times, the greatest of hobbies. After an active campaign with almost 1000 public votes from young and old, male and female participants, The Museum of Philately is delighted to award not one but three medals. They have been presented to Iva Mouritsen, Simon Martin-Redman and John Davies at an awards ceremony in the Hôtel de Paris. These well-recognised philatelists have three very different exhibits, all of which you can enjoy reading at your leisure on the Museum.

David Feldman, commented in his speech ‘Whilst none of us can see into the future, this event today provides encouragement that the philatelic landscape in future years will be healthier and more diverse than ever before. Certainly, if we continue to embrace new ways of doing things and the emerging technologies, we will enjoy a bright future, once again, exactly what the Museum of Philately is all about.’
