OSTROPA 2020 POSTPONED

The Organising Committee of OSTROPA 2020, which was scheduled to be held at the Russian House for Science and Culture in Berlin from 25 – 28 June 2020, has decided with great regret to postpone the exhibition because of the coronavirus crisis.

The Committee is now looking for alternative dates in Autumn 2020 so that exhibitors can still qualify at OSTROPA for IBRA 2021.

OSTROPA is a Class 1 exhibition with participation from eleven countries in Eastern Europe. It has FEPA Recognition and AIJP Patronage. It has already generated a lot of enthusiasm from collectors, dealers and auction houses and the Organising Committee hopes that this interest will be maintained when the new dates are announced to make the exhibition a great success.

LE NOUVEAU JOURNAL DES MAXIMAPHILES FRANÇAIS

Pascal Bandry, the European Bureau Member on the FIP Maximaphily Commission, recently sent me a link to the latest journal published by the Maximaphilatelists in France. I thought it was a very interesting insight into the fascinating subject of maximaphily as well as being a reminder of happier times. Pascal has kindly agreed that we can put the link on FEPA News so here it is:
