During the summer the American Philatelic Society (APS) staged a virtual Stamp Show with a full range of activities on offer on-line. Other organisations including the FIP, the Bund Deutscher Philatelisten e. V. and the Royal Philatelic Society London also organised programmes of on-line presentations.
The APS and the BDPh have published the results of surveys they conducted among visitors to their events, and both report remarkably high levels of satisfaction. In both surveys more than 80% of responders were satisfied or very satisfied with the on-line initiatives and almost everyone wanted them to be repeated. Given that these events were planned and delivered at very short notice, these ratings are a great compliment to the Organisers. They also suggest that collectors have adapted rapidly to the on-line environment and that there will be a continuing demand for this service.

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!

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.
