News Release
Get Ready for LONDON 2010
By Don Peterson
I hope many of you are planning to go to LONDON 2010 -- this year’s big
international show at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, UK,
May 8-15, 2010. Most
importantly, IPPS is planning a meeting and dinner.
Undoubtedly, there will also be innumerable casual get-togethers.
Many Philippine collectors have already volunteered their time to
help make this a success. In
advance, a big thanks goes to Peter Harradine, who is arranging
reasonable lodging and organizing the Sunday evening dinner; Nigel
Gooding, for coordinating the purchase of first day admission tickets;
Geoff Lewis, for setting up the IPPS meeting at the British Postal
Museum and Archives; and Doug Lehmann for his graphics and notice in the
website and Journal. It
looks like a great turn out.
Here is a summary of happenings:

the London Underground (Tube).
It is within 5-minutes walking distance from Angel Station on the
