A draft Agreement has been reached to enable FEPA to grant Patronage to the LIBEREC 2022 exhibition. The FEPA Board’s recommendation that Patronage should be granted will be discussed by Congress at its meeting in Athens on 23rd November and, if approved, the Agreement will then be signed.
LIBEREC 2022 is being organised under the auspices of the Czech Philatelic Federation (SČF) and comprises a European Stamp Exhibition and a Polar Salon. The exhibition will take place from 13th – 16th October 2022 in the Wellness Centrum Babylon in the south of the City of Liberec, Czech Republic.
The exhibition will have 1,200 frames, of which 200 will be allocated to the Polar Salon. The exhibition will include a FEPA Grand Prix Class as well as the Traditional, Postal History, Thematic, Open Philately, Picture Postcard, Youth Philately, Philatelic Literature and One-Frame classes. Applications can also be made for 2- and 3-frame exhibits. The Organisers have already asked FEPA Members to nominate Commissioners and applications to exhibit should be submitted to National Commissioners by 31 January 2022. We strongly urge all FEPA Members to nominate a Commissioner and take part in this exhibition which promises to be another great event for European philatelists.
The Polar Salon will show exhibits of exceptional significance and the exhibition will also include a series of other events, including a display of race, early Czech stamps borrowed from the Postal Museum in Prague.

We are pleased to report on interesting developments in Youth Philately in the UK and Germany.
From London John Davies reports that a new ‘Youth Zone’ was launched by the Stamp Active Network at Autumn Stampex, held from 29th September – 2nd October. The theme of Stamp Active’s activities was Birds and there were also features on Postcrossing and StampIT. World Postcard Day was celebrated on 1st October with a talk by the RPSL President, Peter Cockburn.
Young collectors could find stamps on Birds and complete other challenges to win points that could be exchanged for prizes or used at the free children’s auction on Saturday. Once again the auction was highly popular with lively bidding for the most attractive items.
At the end of the auction there was a free prize for a Penny Black, donated by Robin Cassell of Mulready Philatelics. The winner was Micah McCaulay, aged 6, from London (above). Due to restrictions on school stamp clubs during the pandemic there were no youth competitions on this occasion. They will restart in 2022.
From Germany Dittmar Wöhlert of the DPhJ e.V. has sent us a press release on the latest issue of Junge Sammler (3/21).
The main theme is ‘Water’ with articles on many different aspects of this vital commodity. It also includes articles on the Mauritius ‘Ball Invitation’ covers, Indian postal stationery and New Zealand’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ issue as well as a quiz and many other topics including how to make your own Christmas mail.
