Helvetia 2022 organisers come up with simple best practices
Helvetia 2022 organisers came up with an interesting offer to their exhibitors: they had asked them to select and send before 15 March the images of up to 12 pages of their exhibits. When the jurors receive and examine these sample pages they will certainly be better prepared towards their final evaluations.
One might suggest that if the complete exhibits had been asked to be sent two months in advance, it would have been of much greater help to the jurors. Isn’t that true though that more than half of the exhibitors are working with their exhibit pages up to the last minute?
The World Stamp Exhibition Helvetia 2022 will take place in Lugano from 18 to 22 May.
Vaccari News celebrates 19 years: “la filatelia in tempo reale”
We read in Vaccari News today that it was 8th March 2003 when their webpage was released. The first post was about Aldo Capitini’s “flag of peace”, a topic quite relevant to today’s Ukraine conflict, as their own webmaster commented.
The webpage is in Italian and the majority of the news have to do with Italian philately. However, Vaccari News never misses any important international philatelic piece. In today’s post they proudly announced they have surpassed 23000 pieces of news during these past 19 years! A major accomplishment and a major service to the philatelic community.
Suspension of Russian and Belarusian accounts on Delcampe
We received from Delcampe the following email:
Due to the conflict in Ukraine, which we deplore, we have decided to suspend all sales and purchases from Russia and Belarus.
In concrete terms, the following actions have been taken:
• suspension of the account of users based in Russia and Belarus
• cancellation of sales and purchases made by these users
• commission fees on cancelled sales will not be accounted for
• ratings will been turned into neutral feedback for all transactions affected by these measures
Delcampe will do its utmost to protect the buyers and sellers of its community and will continue to apply all legal and compliance measures required by the authorities.
We regret this situation. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the situation in Ukraine.
Yours sincerely,
The Delcampe Team
