This is an awesome idea. I would like to swap if possible a postcard from Svalbard with combination of local post stamp and Norway stamp mailed to me from Svalbard if possible. As meeting postcards are extremely limited, any type of postcard will be awesome for me.
I wish that you all have a blast and fun time in your meeting.
Just FYI, there are no local stamps as such. Svalbard is a part of Norway and regular Norwegian postage is used there. But the local post office has made some designs using the postal service’s “personalized stamp” option, but those aren’t official postage stamps.
Most of these are clearly Russian. Svalbard is a part of Norway. I suppose these can be used by residents of Barentsburg to send mail home. But they are Russian stamps with Svalbard motifs, and unusable to send mail from Longyearbyen or Ny-Ålesund.
Would have been nice to attend, but I’m in Greece then (as I usually are in August), and a bit of a short notice as well to be able to get affordable flights.
