Press Release
International exhibition in London in 2015
London is to host a European stamp exhibition in 2015, from 13 to 16 May. The venue will be the Business Design Centre in London’s Islington, which proved so ideal for the highly successful London 2010 international stamp exhibition.

A Steering Committee has been established, chaired by Bill Hedley, with Frank Walton as Vice-Chairman. The Committee also includes Brian Trotter, who was Chairman of the London 2010 international stamp exhibition. The event has the support of the British Philatelic Trust.
Note to Editors:
London 2010 was a full-world international stamp exhibition. The event planned for 2015 will be a European exhibition, for which the competitive exhibits will come from collectors who are members of philatelic associations affiliated to FEPA. The stand-holders and visitors will naturally be welcome from all parts of the world.
The exhibition is being organised under the aegis of Stamp World Exhibitions, a company established to organise Stamp World London 90, and which was involved with both The Stamp Show 2000 and London 2010.
It is fully anticipated that LONDON 2015 EUROPHILEX will receive both FEPA patronage and FIP recognition.

Message from the “Team ffap” dated 19 January 2011:
Le site de la FFAP n’a pas connu la trêve des confiseurs, le travail continue. Ce site web n’est pas seulement un annuaire des associations, annuaire très important qui, grâce au travail d’Irène, comporte plus de 3.000 entrées
http://www.ffap.net/Regions/index.php
ce n’est pas, non plus, seulement l’agenda des manifestations tenu à jour par Dominique
http://www.ffap.net/Agenda/index.php
c’est aussi un outil d’aide aux philatélistes débutants ou confirmés.
Dans ce but les pages de téléchargements de documents officiels ou
d’informations viennent d’être actualisées: http://www.ffap.net/Documents/
La page consacrée à la Fête du timbre tenue par Jacques met en ligne
des documents utiles à sa préparation

La rubrique questions/réponses connaît un certain succès,
malheureusement les trop nombreuses questions restées sans réponse
risquent entamer la confiance ou la patience des visiteurs :

Enfin une rubrique est en plein essor grâce au travail de Marc:
celle du recensement des articles de La Philatélie Française
avec un index de plus de 1.500 entrées avec recherche par thèmes et mots-clés :

Quelques articles extraits de la revue ont récemment commencé à être mis en ligne.
La rubrique consacrée aux expositions connaît un réel succès auprès des collectionneurs,
tout au moins ceux qui ont une adresse de messagerie internet et qui reçoivent
un avis personnel dans l’heure qui suit la proclamation des résultats.
