I have created two Meet-Up postcards, one each for the two UNESCO sites.
Other meet-up cards created by participants are welcome. Please make them available to other participants.
Here is my first card, Moonlit Cathedral, available at âŹ0.20 per card plus postage. It will also be available during the meeting.
KARTE #1
My second card, ShUM - Mikveh, is available at âŹ0.20 per card plus postage. It will also be available during the meeting. The Postcrossing Logo is on the back.
KARTE #2 (Vorderseite)
I would have loved to participate but unfortunately I am off to Duisburg to take part in an event and therefore canÂŽt make it to the meet up in Speyer.
I wish you all a lot of fun.
Martin, FYI I have created one with the cathedral as the motif and will upload it as soon as it arrives next week. I am still working on one which features the mikva, Speyerâs second UNESCO WHS.
I will not hold you back from creating a third one. Might it be a bit of an overload though with three, asks this Meet-up organiser newbie.
Ich finde es schön, wenn es verschiedene Meetingkarten gibt.
Jede/r macht das anders!
Wenn du aber nicht willst, das jeder ne Karte macht/hat, musst du es oben erwÀhnen oder schreiben, das du eine machst.
Und von 12 bis 15 Uhr wird denke ich knapp mit der Zeit. Aber das ist nur meine Meinung.
Es ist dein Meeting und du gibst alles vor.
Ăbrigens musst du oben nur das allererste auf Englisch schreiben, danach geht alles in Deutsch. @CraftyHill
Ich habe es heute paar lieben PC-Freunden erzÀhlt.
Am selben Tag ist Meeting in Reutlingen und dort sind viele MeetinggÀnger.
Hoffe auch das mal ganz neue auch dazukommen.
Ich liebe Meetings und am meisten mit viel zu sehen.
Iâll continue in English as we may have visitors who are not fluent in German.
@CraftyHill Thank you for the information that youâll design two cards with the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Speyer. When you only mentioned the cathedral, I thought the SchUM site needs a card, too. Now that is covered, I still may consider a third card, but that depends if I find a motif that I really like. I hope there will be sunny days in March (I need to use a few vacation days from last year until end of March), if so Iâll do a âphoto safariâ to Speyer and see what Iâm coming back with. I know Speyer has lots of nice views, and I also have often created meeting cards with the meeting restaurant on it. Maybe I even can find an angle of the restaurant with the cathedral on the background, weâll see.
@rose1979 is right, @CraftyHill, you should write in the first posting which meeting cards you will create, if others are allowed to create their own meeting cards and what the requirements are (e.g. must be made available to all participants, may only be designed by meeting participants, define a maximum number of meeting cards etc.). You are the meeting host, you make the rules (if you want to, otherwise people will be free to do what they wish).
Regarding the number of meeting cards, I think 3 cards with 14 participants is fine. I recently attended a meeting in Neckarsulm with 6 meeting cards and 30 participants. That meant a lot of cards to stamp, but we had the restaurant from 13:00 to 18:00, so it worked out. I agree with @rose1979 that 12:00 to 15:00 may be a bit short. There are different approaches to meeting cards. Some people send a certain number of cards and use the card design they think fits best for the recipient (which may be a non-meeting card), others exchange meeting cards with others and therefore send a certain number of cards from each motif. So in general the number cards to stamp will increase with the number of different meeting cards. And of course there are the meeting books, which usually require a significant amount of time for writing and decorating.
Als Info: @Cassiopheia hat eine UNESCO Karte mit einem Motiv vom Speyerer Dom kreiert und drucken lassen.
Vielleicht besteht daran auch Interesse hier.
Liebe Christine, Ich habe meine erste Karte oben gepostet. Ich freue mich auf diese Meeting um neue PC Freunde kennen zu lernen und um âalteâ PC Freunde wieder zu sehen.
CITY/REGION: Speyer, Rhineland-Palatinate
MEETUP PLACE: Speyer Hbf (main train station)
DATE: Saturday, June 8, 2024
TIME: 10:00
MEETUP PLAN: For those arriving by train or who park at the main train station, we will walk towards town through Adenauer Park passing by Helmut Kohlâs gravesite, then past the modern Synagogue to Speyerâs historical city gate (Altpörtel) where one can either climb the 150+ steps to the viewing gallery or sit down for a coffee at a local cafĂ© and people watch for 20 minutes. We will continue along the main street, where there are opportunities to buy local postcards. Before viewing the Speyer cathedral (UNESCO WHS 1981) from the outside, we will turn off the main street to visit the Jewish Courtyard (Judenhof), Speyerâs newest UNESCO heritage site (2021). Once through the cathedral gardens, we will walk along the Rhineallee towards our restaurant Alter Hammer where we will want to refresh ourselves and enjoy postcard fun in the Wintergarten room reserved for us from 12:00 -16:00.
