The 58th edition of the EXPHIMO took place on Pentecost weekend at Mondorf-les-Bains. Numerous philatelists and other interested visitors came by and admired the exposed stamp collections. The Director General Claude Strasser received at that occasion from the hands of Chairman Roger Thill the golden Philcolux insignia.

The Director General Claude Strasser has officially handed over the “Rio 2016” stamp to Marc Hoffmann, Chairman of the national Olympic Committee (COSL). The presence of Charline Mathias, qualified for the games, and Charel Grethen, still striving for qualification, was highly appreciated.

The Jury in charge of designating the winners among the nearly 1700 drawings submitted in relation with the traditional philatelic drawing contest has made its choices. In the next days the lucky winners will be individually contacted. In the month of June a ceremony will be organized during which rewards will be handed out.

POST Philately was participating from May 8th till 10th in the Nordposta 2016 exhibition in Hamburg. Perfectly well organized, this exhibition allowed POST Philately to meet with its German customers in a very appropriate environment.
