Nordisk Frimärks- och Vykortsutställning Nordic philatelic and postcard exhibition Bulletin #2 (English Version) Täby Oct 30th – Nov 1st, 2015 1 Welcome to Nordia 2015 You are very welcome to participate in Nordia 2015 as exhibitor, stamp dealer, representative for an auction company or staff member in a stamp issuing post organization. We, in the organizing committee, have been working for more than two years to create the ultimate experience for you who love stamps and postcards; the best event since the year 2000 in the Stockholm area. We do hope that you will enjoy this. The exhibits, which are due for the show, represent philately and postcards in the entire span from top of the world to exhibits by new exhibitors just in the beginning of their international career. The exhibits show the enormous span of philately; geography, history, research, culture, contemporary, modern exhibit layout and a lot more. Philately and post card collecting is, indeed, a matter of multiplicity of topics. I, as chairman of the organizing committee, am proud of the dedicated work, perfomed by all my committee members to create a real show for all of us. I am also very glad that so many stamp and post card dealers, auction companies and post organizations have decided to join us. We intend to offer an extensive program. The complete program will be published in the exhibition catalog and on our website ( www.nordia2015.se ). In this Bulletin # 2 you will find all information you need to finish your preparations for participation. Exhibit bags will be sent to all exhibitors during the month of September. Now there are a number of actions to be taken. Please read this bulletin carefully, complete requested forms and do not forget to mail them to us in time! Once again – very welcome to Nordia 2015!
