We will gather for a meetup at Åland Distillery in Kastelholm, on early Thursday evening at 5 PM. Even it is a distillery, there are also bakery products, coffee, and other than alcoholic beverages. We will write our postcards outdoors or indoors, depending on the weather.
A special meetup postcard will be available.
On Friday, Åland Post will issue a stamp to celebrate Tall Ships Races. TSR was later canceled, or replaced by a smaller Sail Åland event. However, they will publish the stamp anyway. Also, a special cancellation to celebrate the event (TSR) is available, too. You must take your postcards to Mariehamn Post Office on Friday between 10-17. The designer of the new stamp will be there, too, at 10-12 and 13-15.
A picture of our meetup card, the new stamp, and the special cancellation:
The logo is NOT on a blue background. There will be NO contrast issues, the contrast on this bluish grey background is actually very high. If you look at the colors of the sea on both two pictures or the color of the sky on the top picture, they are blue, on which the logo is NOT placed as you can see. I guess the small preview picture doesn’t give justice especially if your device or screen doesn’t meet the standards of the print industry. I have used the logo in similar situations before, which are checked and accepted by Paulo before.
Trademark notice can be found printed on the backside, as always.
The postcard is already printed and ready to spread the joy of Postcrossing around the world.
I would also love to swap for a card.
I can offer different postcards from Germany for your collection, e.g. women or beer-related.
Please PM me if you are interested.
Hello!
I have just registered and I am not quite sure how to use the site. - Much is still not clear
I really liked your postcard, because it has everything that I love on postcards: sails, sea, horizon, lighthouse and seagulls…A postcard like this would be a wonderful start for my postcrossing. I am from Belarus and am ready to find something to exchange according to your interests
Hi!
Many greetings from Germany and happy postcrossing.
Your Meetup postcard looks amazing. I love it.
Would anyone consider to swap? I will try to send you a postcard that matches your wishes - touristic, Tausendschön, Inge Löök, Harry Potter, Lali, animals, quotes, series cards (GF, HPC, Wordcloud, COTW etc.) etc.
Oh, I just found this post about that meetup. 3 years ago our plan wa to be at the Aland Islands for the TSR this year. But Corona changed our plans, as we do not want to use ferries at the moment. Due to rising amounts of Corona infections all over the world we will pass our holiday in Germany again this year. Hope you had a nice time. And we hope that the situation will be better again next year. We miss the Aland Islands so much.
