I visited the Royal Mail stand today – if you want the David Gentleman stamps specially treated for the show or want some of the new bar code stamps (no they are really QR codes) this is the place for you – but not if you are asking questions about the purpose of these replacements – don’t forget to use up your Machins and Christmas stamps by the end of January 2o23 – or reclaim as I intend to do.
The Stamp Active area is well stocked with everything apart from children. Despite the efforts of the organisers and volunteers, there is a shortage of children coming after school or being brought by parents or grandparents for a day out when on holiday. Please bring them in the next few days if at all possible. Remember – use it or lose it!
Yet more purchases, superb new displays to see, keeping up with friends and having friendly meals together – it really is a great hobby
