Has got a Large Verneil at an FIP exhibition. Next time 8 frames? Not necessarily

For an exhibitor who had received a Large Vermeil medal for his exhibit at a FIP Exhibition, but unable to expand his exhibits from 5 to 8 frames in time for participation in the next FIP Exhibition, FIP GREX Article 6.4 states that:

“Exhibits which qualify for 8 frames at an exhibition have to show 8 frames in the immediate next exhibition. For valid reasons such as limited philatelic material available in the market etc, the exhibit concerned could not be expanded to 8 frames, it would then be allowed to show 5 to 7 frames for a maximum of 2 more times, within a span of 36 months from date of receiving the qualifying medal”.
