Young philatelists in Germany prepare for Christmas
The Deutsche Philatelisten-Jugend e.V. have issued a press release about the novel approach being taken by one group in South West Germany to prepare for the Christmas period in this year of COVID restrictions on meeting and travelling. The press release is attached.
The idea, created by Roman Machauer for the Young Philatelists’ Group in Bruchsal-Hambrücken, is to provide young people with Christmas motifs through its website that they can download, print, cut and paste to form postcards. They can then send the cards to the Christ Child setting out what they would like for Christmas. Apparently, an answer is guaranteed!

The Bruchsal-Hambrücken group is a member of the Landesring Süd-West of the DPhJ.

Saverio Imperato (1935 – 2020)
It is with regret that we inform you of the death of Saverio Imperato, a great Italian philatelist, on 20 November 2020.
A brilliant professor of immunology, he was well known around the world for his charming personality, his assiduous participation in international exhibitions and his determination to compete for the top awards. He started under a pseudonym at Buenos Aires 80, but his formal career took off at España 84 where he was awarded the Grand Prix International for his exhibit of Tuscany. Over the years he moved from Traditional to Postal History, spacing through the challenging range of almost all the Old Italian States until his last Gold Medal in Budapest (2011). In all his exhibits were awarded 6 Grands Prix, 60 Large Gold medals and 19 Gold. He will be remembered for the amazing wealth of his material, the depth of his knowledge and his almost constant presence on the international stage for more than a quarter of a century.
R.I.P.
