By Prof. Ludwik K. Malendowicz
On September 22, 2019, the annual meeting of ”The National Club of Collectors of the Registration Labels and Stamps, Poland” was held. As it is well known, FEPA certified this outstanding Club as “The Best European Philatelic Club of the Year 2018”.
The meeting took place in Mikstat Las (a small community in Greater Poland, where assembles of the Club traditionally take place), and was attended by about 50 members and supporters of the Club. The meeting was accompanied by a philatelic show and an exhibition of older and newer postal equipment. The most important point of the meeting was handing over the certificate to the Club. On behalf of the President of FEPA Jose Ramon Moreno, Prof. Ludwik K. Malendowicz presented this diploma to the management of the Club. The gathered participants of the meeting with applause accepted this prestigious award.
Apart from organizational matters, three presentations concerning registration labels and stamps were presented at the meeting. Traditionally, the next annual meeting of the club will be organized next year in the same forest centre (Mikstat Las).
The presented photographs show the snapshots from the meeting.
