Autumn seminars from the Hellenic Philatelic Federation

A series of eighteen seminars have been organised by the Hellenic Philatelic Federation during the past few weeks. The seminars run on Webex, between 15 September and 13 October, on Thursdays and Fridays at 7.00 pm Athens time, i.e. nine sessions, two seminars per session. Nine speakers took the lead on a rotation basis, each of them twice, however on a different subject. The speakers, all accredited jurors, focused on their own specialties (exhibition classes), all classes covered.

The presentations were given in Greek language. For those who understand Greek and would like to watch the seminars, there is a page on the Federation website with the list of the speakers’ presentations in pdf plus the related videos (minus the Q&A), already uploaded on YouTube.
