Hi there, postcrossers
What are the activities you have participated in postcrossing Meetups ?
It would be nice to have a list of activities, so when organizing one we could find great ideas to be replicated 
Regards,
Henriquehsm

- A walk through the host-city with a licenced guide
- A walk through the host-city with the other guests, the locals showing shops where to buy (cheap or special) cards
- A lottery where everyone did draw one name of another guest to send a card when back home
- A lottery filled with presents (stickers, cards, âŚ) each of the guest brought
- Albums being passed through
- A birthday song on video (as it was on/around postcrossingâs birthday)
- A visit at a local painterâs house who used to publish the paintings as postcards
- A lot of eating, drinking and above all of course signing cards ,-)
Iâve heard/read of groups visiting printing companies, stamp exhibitions, other exhibitions or postal centres.

I am not able to edit the description of my meet-up. Does it get disabled at some point of time?

@suyogg As a basic member (Trust Level 1) you can edit your posts only for a very short time.
You can read here 
Understanding Discourse Trust Levels about the Trust Levels and what you should do to become a Member /Trust Level 2. It seems that you become a member, if you visit the forum 3 more days and if you answer to one or two other topics.
But I can help you in the meantime. Please send me via PM what you would like to change and I do it for you. Or wait 3 days, if it is not urgent.
Edit:I just saw that you already asked mundoo for help. Since she takes care of the MeetUps, itâs better if she helps you.
Thanks Stevyy ! Nice to have some ideas, I hope other postcrossers could add more activities to make a big list

So after attending a meeting earlier this year, I used PostCrossingâs excellent threads to set up a meeting and get a card made. The meet is only 20 days from now (Ocean Springs MS) but I recall folks in the Houston meet using stamps to sign their cardsâŚ
Where/how did you get your stamp made?

I did that. I set a quorum of 4 and a limit of 10, so that it will be a more intimate group and so as to not overwhelm the coffee shop that agreed to let me host it there. Itâs also my first time organizing one and I wanted to keep it simple.

I got my first stamp at a local shop selling ink cartridges. They also create stamps, mostly for business use.
I lost that stamp in Portugal at the end of a meeting with postcrossers on my birthday. 
Afterwards I created a similar design online at VistaPrint.fr and had two stamps sent to me for the price of my first one. 
We have several Topics where we talk about stamps.
Maybe you take a look at it

Iâm attending my first meet-up next week and I see that several people have requested large numbers of cards, is that something I should do?
Thatâs up to you! Do you want to send many meetup cards? Do you want to pay for a large amount of cards? If no, donât do it! If yes, thatâs OK.
The focus should be on being social, so everyone should try to limit the amount of cards they ask others to sign during the meetup, though.

I posted a new meetup earlier today and it still appears greyed out on my screen and does not appear in the list of meetups. Iâm not sure if I did something wrong or if itâs just in need of approval by a mod. How long does it usually take for a new posting to be approved, assuming I filled everything out correctly?
If you posted in #meetups:usa the thread should appear right away when you posted it.
it will be manually added to the meetup list on the main page though, after the thread has been checked and all relevant information is listed.
I did post it in the US thread. Itâs on Oct. 15th. It looks like this on my screen and I canât tell if itâs visible to others.
I do see it. I might have overlooked it earlier today.
Is probably grey because youâve read the thread.

Correct
Every meeting is checked for complete information and then is added to the Postcrossing calendar by me.
I do this as often as my time allows.
Your meeting is now on the Postcrossing calendar. Have a great meeting.

Who should pay for the cost(like the postcards printing fee) if I arrange a meet-up? should the participant share the cost or i should pay for the total cost?
