Royal Mail will have a stand at EuroPhilEx 2025, the international stamp exhibition being held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, from Wednesday, 7 May, until Sunday, 11 May.
On sale will be a new series of stamps marking Valour and Victory: Stories of the Second World War being issued on 1 May. The ten stamps will be accompanied by a miniature sheet featuring Dame Vera Lynn, the Forces Sweetheart.
The miniature sheet will also be on sale from the Royal Mail stand in a limited edition, specially overprinted to mark EuroPhilEx Birmingham 2025. This will be a numbered edition of 7,500 sheets, available at £6.60 each.
Also on sale will be a Collector Sheet titled ‘Victory Stamps, 1946 Symbols of Peace and Reconstruction’. The sheets, printed in litho and self-adhesive, will feature ten of the Union Flag 1st class stamp issued last year, plus ten labels. These will depict the 2½d and 3d stamps, designed by Edmund Dulac and H. L. Palmer, that were issued in 1946 on the theme of ‘Peace and Reconstruction’, together with eight of the designs that were submitted by various artists but not adopted. The Collector Sheet is priced at £17.70 each.
There will also be a special EuroPhilEx postmark available for each day of the exhibition.
On 1 March we received the latest Press Release from Axel Brockmann, the editorial office of Junge Sammler:
The new JUNGE SAMMLER is on its way to its readers with the special topic of religion. The magazine is intended to help find exhibits for this year’s foundation competition, which will take place in Hamburg. Of course, there are many other topics and hands-on activities in the magazine: The Young Collector quiz, comic and mini poster is also included, for example. In addition, the Riedling youth group has tested the “Tauschrausch” game. The winners of the 2024 membership competition and the bird quiz will also be presented.
JUNGE SAMMLER 1/2025 marks the launch of a new campaign by the Deutsche Philatelisten-Jugend: #XtremePhilately. The aim is to photograph stamps in front of the original motif. The photos will be published on the DPhJ’s Instagram channel. All the details on how to take part can be found in the magazine.
The numerous articles in the magazine show how diverse the topic of “religion” can be approached philatelically: what you should know about religion, how the world came into being or what records religious buildings have: There are thoughts and answers in the JUNGE SAMMLER. The topic of “light” plays a role in many religions; the magazine takes a more scientific approach. Animals in the Bible are also a topic, as are “Sacred batsand bat gods”. The article “Wartburg Castle” deals with Martin Luther’s place of refuge and the translation of the Bible. The article on Pope Benedict XVI at World Youth Day in Germany focuses on postmarks. There are many ways in which the topic of religion can be implemented in exhibits.
The new JUNGE SAMMLER once again offers many opportunities to experience philately with young people and to become active themselves. We would like to thank the “St. Gabriel”, “Technology and Natural Sciences” and “Zoology” working groups and motif groups involved in this issue for their cooperation.
