Invitation to Prague
From September 12 to 14, 2008, the Union of Czech Philatelists will organise PRAGA 2008 in Prague under the patronage of FIP, for the classes of Traditional Philately, Postal History, Philatelic Literature and for the experimental One-frame-class. This exhibition will be one of many World exhibitions held in Prague during the last decades, and I am sure PRAGA 2008 will be as successful as all the other philatelic events in Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic. It is a very great pleasure for me to have been appointed as Consultant for this exhibition, as it was in Prague in 1988 that I was first elected into the Board.
Exhibitors of all nations, races, religions or political convictions will participate with their exhibits in the competition at PRAGA 2008, showing the world the best collections in these philatelic classes, but also how philately contributes to peace and understanding all over the world. I invite all philatelists to come to Prague and to see what has been achieved in philately and to prepare the future of our hobby.
I thank already now the national commissioners and all the members of the Organising Committee of the exhibition for the work they will do for PRAGA 2008. I wish PRAGA 2008 a very great success and, as FIP-President and as FIP-Consultantfor this exhibition, I hope to be able to welcome philatelists and non-philatelists from all over the world in Prague, the heart of Europe.
