MEETUP PLAN: Celebrate the launch of the new Postcrossing stamp in Germany
Hi everyone! 
You may have heard that a Postcrossing-themed stamp will be launched in Germany in 2022! This is a super exciting event for the whole community, but especially for the German postcrossers, who have asked for this stamp for so long. So naturally, there will be a special launch meetup event!
The Museum for Communications in Berlin has very kindly made their Lichthof (aka, the central atrium) available for this meeting, as a way to support and celebrate the launch of the launch of the Postcrossing stamp. Hurray! We’re really thankful for their generosity in welcoming the Postcrossing community on this special day.
There will be some tables and chairs, as well as a temporary post office from Deutsche Post, where you can get some stamps and postmark them with a special cancellation mark.
Note that the post stand can only make payments in cash (not debit or credit cards).
Note that entry in the museum has a cost of €6, and gives you access to the whole museum. If you’re interested in a tour of the museum as well (a few hours before the meeting), please check this post.
For those who would like to order meetup cards with the image of the stamp, you can do so by sending a private message to @kroete68, letting her know how many you’d like. The final price will depend on the number of cards we’ll have to order, but will not be more than €0.30 per postcard. She will calculate the final price with shipping, and reply back so that you can pay. All postcards will be mailed out to you during September.
In order to give everyone time to be social and enjoy the museum, the number of postcards each participant can pass around to sign will be limited to 20. Each person will receive an envelope where they will put their name and postcards. Even with this limit, please don’t expect your postcards to be signed by everyone there, as that would be an impossible task for the limited time available… You can still send other postcards of course (and Deutsche Post will be there to put the special cancellation marks on them) — just not signed by meetup attendants. Let’s make it a priority to have a good time together, and not stress about signatures! 
Let us know if you’re planning to come to the meeting (by leaving a reply on this topic), and we’ll add you to the list of participants below. This will help us get a better idea of how many people are coming, so that we can plan accordingly.
We’ll post more information here as we go along, and you can watch or track this topic to be notified of any updates.
We’re really happy about it, and look forward to the launch of this much awaited stamp!
