From Wednesday 7 to Sunday 11 May, EuroPhilEx Birmingham 2025 will welcome visitors from all corners of the world to what is expected to be the biggest philatelic event of the year.
In his welcome message in the exhibition catalogue, Jon Aitchison, EuroPhilEx Chairman, noted that this is the first British international exhibition to be staged outside London since Manchester 1899. Also in the catalogue, Bill Hedley, FEPA President, quoted: It will be an occasion for the philatelic world to come together, rekindle its enthusiasm, and have a good time.
Highlights of the event include 2,000 exhibit frames, a magnificent Court of Honour, more than 60 dealer and trade stands, a live philatelic auction, society meetings, the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists Ceremony, the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain, the FEPA Congress, and two FEPA seminars.

Christos Gikas of the Balkanfila Working Group released the latest 51-page newsletter yesterday.
This issue features a detailed section on the recent FEPA initiative to hold a series of Zoom discussions with national federations, focusing on revitalising philately through social media. It also contains a range of articles covering the latest philatelic news and reports from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey.
Thanks to the initiative of Alfonso Molina and Henry Márquez, who had already organised meetings among philatelists, it was on 15 April 2020 that the first recorded conference was published on YouTube within the virtual space of Mi Oficina Philatelic Society. Five years later, the following achievements were recorded:
752 video conferences available.
1,152 hours of video content.
200 philatelists have presented.
Collectively, they have produced approximately 42,500 slides.
The conferences have been viewed about 366,600 times on YouTube.
This results in an average of 500 views per video.
100,000 hours of content have been watched.
Henry Márquez has shared a message to mark the occasion, noting that Mi Oficina’s main merit is being self-organised and elegantly dysfunctional, as every unconventional group ought to be. But the story doesn’t end there. The challenge continues.
