There will be a postcrossing meet-up on February 24th 2024, a Saturday, in Copenhagen, and you’re more than welcome to join, or to request swaps with one of the participants (just write below, and hopefully a participant will answer you). If you wish to join, feel free to write below and I’ll get in touch, or you can write directly to me.

Our next step is to design a beautiful postcard, which I’ll share here when it’s done. I’ll be ordering postcards a month or so in advance, and will write out to all attendees for how many they want.

Currently attending (we have a max of 20, so if you don’t know if you can attend, consider signing up as a maybe):

  1. @VilhelmR
  2. @marit_la
  3. @NOE6ACV
  4. @KAS
  5. @Katrin1778
  6. @allwin
  7. @Tanumine

  19. @chrisskywalker
  20. @turtle65

Waiting list:

  1. @Dina2006
  2. @HanPlans

Also, if you’re not aware, it’s worth keeping in mind that sending a postcard from Denmark is 50 DKK a piece (€6,71). Remember that it’s not against the rules to send your postcards from elsewhere, I send mine from Germany.

Original message:

We had a lot of fun at the meet-up last year, and I’d like to see if there’s interest in repeating the success, maybe with even more participants.

Please let me know below if you’d genuinely be interested to attend for an afternoon of postcard cosiness (the date is because I have to set one). Asking around a bit, I’ve learned that a Saturday in 2024 would be preferable to a lot of people. So here’s a non-binding poll:

Meet-up date
  • January 6th, Saturday
  • January 13th, Saturday
  • January 20th, Saturday
  • January 27th, Saturday
  • February 3rd, Saturday
  • February 10th, Saturday
  • February 17th, Saturday
  • February 24th, Saturday
  • March 2nd, Saturday
  • March 9th, Saturday

I enjoyed the last meetup and I am in for another meetup in Copenhagen again.

(Have posted this on FB - Postcrossing Norge and Postcrossing Norden).

I’m definitely interested! But it would have to be a Saturday. First half of January, second half of February or first half of March would suit me well :blush:

Definitely interested, up for it if the timing is right! Agree with @Tanumine that it would have to be a Saturday. I can do same as Tanumine; early January, late February or maybe even early March. :grinning:

Sounds interesting, might travel in some of February, but otherwise could be fun to meet up - however a lot will depend of the new postal law comming into force January, that might kill the joy of Postcrossing here in Denmark :cry:

The new rules won’t apply to international letters, that will continue to be the monopoly of Postnord (or so I read on Politiken, but I can’t find the source right now). Given the current prices of sending international postcards, I don’t see any joy either way :sweat_smile:.

Update: In this article, Det kommer postaftalen til at betyde for dig - politiken.dk, the following is written:

Af aftalen fremgår det dog, at det fortsat vil være staten, der gennem udbud sikrer en løsning på tre forskellige opgaver: Betjening af ø-samfund, blindepost og udlandspost.

Automated translation: It appears from the agreement, however, that it will continue to be the state that secures a solution to three different tasks through tendering: Service of island communities, blind mail and international mail.

So it would seem that international mail is still a PostNord monopoly.

When you add your address, do you mean that you’d like to join as a recipient of postcards? Because here we’re organising who will show up to the meeting :slight_smile:.

I would love to join also. No matter when, but it must be on a weekend because of travelling.

The poll is closed, and the winning date is February 24th. I’ll invite you to a whatsapp group, and anyone who wants to join, that didn’t participate in the poll, or who can also join on the 24th, can write to me for an invite to the group.

Next step is designing a beautiful postcard, which we’ll use the whatsapp group for.

Thank you,
Vilhelm
