:calendar: DATE: Sunday, 1 October 2023
:alarm_clock: TIME: 2 - 4 pm

It’s time to celebrate World Postcard Day!

LOCATION

Collins Place , 45 Collins St Melbourne. Very close to Parliament Station, and the 11, 12, 35, 48 and 109 trams all stop close by.

Meet in the downstairs food hall. We will be sitting near the juice shop, close to the Exhibition Street entrance.

Bring along anything fun you’ve received that you’d like to show off - new maxicards, nice cancellations, rare countries, etc.

CARD RAFFLE

Please bring along a couple of blank cards to add to our prize pool, and we will have a raffle amongst everyone who attends.

CARDS

I will organise a meet up card for the day, for the cost of printing (around 50 cents each, to be confirmed). I’ll update once the card design is finalised.

Anyone else is welcome to do one too.

Hi Samara, I’m happy to trade with you. I have your address from the WPD swap we’ve already arranged.

Hey @nephthys51 and @PekoPekoKuma - rather than organising one-on-one swaps, are you happy if we organise a swap for both whole groups? I’m sure most people will want cards from the other meetings.

Hello! Would anyone like to swap a meetup card with me for WPD here in India? I have official WPD cards and we are also working on an India exclusive WPD design (but it hasn’t been finalized yet). :slight_smile:

I would love to swap so please message me an address that will reach you.
I’d like one of the first card ‘Hello from Veliky Hovgorod’. If you could include a Russian stamp that would be appreciated but if this is not possible that’s fine too.
