New Board for the Philatelic Federation of Finland
The annual Conference of the Philatelic Federation of Finland was held on Saturday, 12 September 2020. Representatives of the philatelic societies and clubs gathered together in Helsinki, although their number was lower than usual.
In addition to normal business the Conference elected a new President for the Federation, because Mr. Klaus Juvas had served all three possible terms and he was not available anymore.
The new President is Mr. Petteri Hannula. He is a prominent philatelist who has participated in numerous domestic and international exhibitions. He is also a Nordic level juror in postal history and national juror in literature. Petteri has written several books about Finnish postal history.
The other Board members are Kari Lindholm, Jukka Mäkipää, Juha Niininen, Kalle Nurminen, Seppo Salonen, and Kai Varsio.
I wish them the best of success in their efforts to take philately forward in Finland!
The newly elected President of the Philatelic Federation of Finland, Mr. Petteri Hannula.
NORDIA 2020 has been cancelled
Lars Nordberg, Chairman of the NORDIA 2020 Organising Committee, has confirmed that the exhibition – due to be held in Malmö from 4th-6th December – has been cancelled.
The Organisers had done everything in their power to avoid this outcome but in the end they were left with no alternative when faced with restrictions imposed in response to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions include a maximum limit of of 50 on the number of people permitted to attend fairs and exhibitions in Sweden.
However, the Organisers have not given up hope entirely and are looking at whether it might be possible to re-arrange the exhibition at a later date. As soon as we hear anything more we will bring it to you.
