President Simon Martin-Redman FRPSL has shared the latest from the Museum of Philately.

Ryterband’s iconic USA collections, Dinesh Kanabar’s collection of Indian Archive material and Fumio Yamazaki’s Hawaiian collection. There are now over one hundred collections available and the list keeps growing!

In their latest newsletter, ABRIA 2025 organisers made an unusual announcement regarding dealer registration:
Anyone who downloads the registration form for dealers from the exhibition’s homepage will notice a particularly interesting phrasing: Dealers, auctioneers, and postal administrations admitted to the exhibition do not pay a stand fee. After the event, they contribute a recognition fee that they consider appropriate based on their revenues.
Since dealers are often hesitant to participate with a stand at regional events, we have decided on this unusual approach to encourage their participation. We see this as a ‘field test’ that may not be suitable for all events..
BALKANFILA XX opening ceremony is just 35 days away. There is still time to gather your family, buy your tickets, and start packing. The organisers say there is a good chance you will experience one of the most memorable philatelic visits of your lifetime.
Thessaloniki is a delight to explore. Founded in the 4th c. BCE, the city’s history spans several millennia, blending its Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, Levantine, and Ottoman heritage with its contemporary flair. In philately, the city was introduced to us as Selanik (Ottoman and modern Turkish), Solun (Serbian, and Bulgarian), Saloniki (Russian), Salonicco (Italian), Salonique (French), and Salonica (English). At the turn of the 20th century, twelve foreign post offices operated here, run by their respective countries or shipping companies.
Several exhibits at BALKANFILA XX will showcase the city’s multicultural past, while many others will highlight the strength of philately in Southern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean countries. Among these, four outstanding exhibits—one each by Joseph Hackmey, Stavros Andreadis, Louis Fanchini, and Anestis Karagiannidis—make up the Court of Honour.
Whenever you need a break from exploring the exhibits, take the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine (hopefully), and taste a bougatsa (a cream- or cheese-filled phyllo pastry) while enjoying your frappé coffee (made with instant coffee, cold water, and ice cubes).
The exhibition will run from Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 November. It will be hosted at Pavilion No. 6 (Pavilion of the Nations), a continuous room on the ground floor, spanning 127 metres in length and 30 metres in width. The Palmares dinner will take place on Friday evening at the rooftop garden of the Mediterranean Palace, where smoking is permitted on the veranda.
