The venue for NORDIA 2018 was the Mýrin sport center. The Mýrin sport center was a newer and excellent suited location for the exhibition. Along its 566 frames were exhibited many of the best exhibits from the Nordic collectors.
The Icelandic Philatelic Federation was during June, 8th to 10th 2018 arranging a Nordic philatelic exhibition. The exhibition carried the name Nordia 2018, which is in accordance with a long standing Nordic tradition, being Sigurður R. Pétursson Chairman of the exhibition committee.
Nordia 2018 was the seventh Nordic philatelic exhibition arranged in Iceland, but the IPF has participated in these internordic exhibitions more or less ever since 1978.

The first Nordic exhibition arranged by the IPF was Nordia 84 (1984). Later came the Nordia 91, Nordia 96, Nordia 2003, Nordia 2009 and Nordia 2013. These exhibitions were arranged with great success in Reykjavík, in Hafnarfjörður and in Garðarbær. This time the exhibition was again arranged in Garðabær, near to Reykjavík. The exhibition committee was very satisfied for the success of the exhibition and so collectors in member clubs of the Nordic National Federations as well as members of the Scandinavian Collectors Club in USA and other visitors found the widely interesting cultural content of the collecting of stamps.

We have the sad task to inform that Ingolf Kapelrud, FRPSL passed away on the evening of the 10th of July 2018 at the age of 74, after a period of illness.
Ingolf was President of Federation of Norwegian Philatelists 1987-1993. He was President of FEPA 1995-2001, and Honorary FEPA President since 2001.
Ingolf served as a thematic juror in 18 international exhibitions 1994-2010, and he represented Norway as commissioner also for 18 international exhibitions.
From 1992 to 2000 he was board member for FIP’s section for Astrophilately and from 1996 to 2008 board member for FIP’s Thematic Commission.
He was a fantastic philatelist who worked very hard for philately.
He was also an extremely kind person and we were lucky to have worked together and to became a good friend of him. Rest in peace.
We have lost a very good friend, and so has the philatelic world.
MEETING OF FIP BOARD WITH MEMBER – FEDERATIONS OF SOUTH EAST EUROPE
There is a practice of F.I.P. Board to hold its meetings in different regions and to meet with local representatives of member federations. It was proposed to the Union of the Bulgarian Philatelists to organize such a meeting on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Bulgaria’s membership in F.I.P. Our guests were the F.I.P. Board Members: Mr. Tay Peng Hian, RDP, President, Mr. Bernard Beston, Vice-President, Mr. Bernard Jimenez, Vice-President, Mr. Prakob Chirakiti, Director, Mr. Yigal Nathaniel, Director and Mr. Aldo Samamé y Samamé, Director.
Bulgaria is an active member of the Balkanphila Group, which unites the Balkan federations. The first exhibition of the group was held in 1965 in Varna, Bulgaria. Currently, the group consists of 11 federations, 9 of which are FEPA members. All Balkan federations were invited to the meeting as well as federations from Eastern Europe.

On April 15th, the Presidents and representatives of the federations introduced the activities of their federations and presented to the F.I.P. Board the challenges they were facing. The main issues raised by them include:
The possibility of working with organizing committees to reduce the frame fees of world stamp exhibitions so that more exhibitors could participate. It has been recommended that the frame fees be in the range of $ 50- $ 60, and exhibits awarded a Vermeil or less to pay lower fees.
The need for more support from FIP to conduct more seminars for exhibitors of member federations, other than conducting seminars at international or world stamp exhibitions.
Create an organization to create and share strategies for working with young people to attract them to the hobby.
Work to develop Africa as a continental federation.
On April 16th F.I.P. Board realized their Board meeting and in the evening the Board members also had a Royal Audience of the President of Honor of the Union of Bulgarian Philatelists H.M. King Simeon II of Bulgaria.
