Anyway, let me overdo by reposting the first post here… hahaha
October 2 Update:
Looking for participant who can send from New Zealand and from Macao. Please post here or pm me directly.
Note: This is not your typical RR group. This is an annual postcard exchange group has been running for the past 12 consecutive years.
As per tradition in this group, priority is given first to group members who participated in the previous year - Year of Rabbit 2023.
After October 15, 2023, it will be open to others to join if there are no representative for that country. Currently Australia is open already.
There will be only 1 member to represent for each country that issues Year of Dragon 2024 stamp. You do not have to reside in that country if you can travel or arrange mailing for that country.
Each member will send a postcard using the Year of Dragon 2024 stamp/s to all members of the group.
Typically a member has to send about 20 or so participating countries and will receive a similar number of postcards in return.
Preferably, use a Year of Dragon official post office postcard or if not available, a self-designed postcard or dragon themed postcard or any nice postcard of the country.
Whenever possible, mail out the postcard on the date of issue in order to get the special post office Year of Dragon 2024 pictorial cancellation if it is available in the country you are representing and if you are able to arrange it.
Please post and update the expected date of stamp issue of the country that you are representing, and when you expect or have mailed out all your postcards.
Later on, update here whenever you have received any postcards to inform other members.
Additional note: There will only be a single group and no second group will be formed here even if more than 1 persons is interested to represent the same country. But do feel free to create your own different RR Group or make private swap arrangement with group members if you do not want to miss out. Do not post here but pm separately.
This is a reliable friendly group and members will not be up in arms if one or two postcards sent are lost or damaged due to mailing delivery.
