Hi fellow-collectors,

I have a small number of covers carried on the official 2009 Bicycle Post 41st Anniversary Re-enactment ride, at the New Zealand National Stamp exhibition in Timaru that year.

Image
Timaru Local Bike Post cover, carried on 16th October 2009,
and with cycle post datestamp plus the city Mayor's Office
datestamp also. Signed by the cycle postie.

(Add your own name & address.)

I am happy to give one free to anyone who requests one, plus a miniature sheet of the 30c stamp (8 stamps), plus some media photocopies about the event.

In return though, I do request that you reimburse the postage by sending me a few mint commemorative sets of recent stamps of your country that I can sell locally to recoup the airmail cost.

Contact me at:

Bruce Henderson
P.O. Box 876
Auckland
New Zealand 1140.

I will use one on your outer envelope as well, next to a New Zealand stamp or stamps,
so you will get enough material to make a several-page display of this historic event!

I will be in for one set Thank You.
Exhibition material interests me more than the bicycle aspect,
but thanks

Guys, I am getting lots of emails saying "Here is my address: send me this sheet!".

However, I won't send my items to you until I have received YOUR letter. I don't send these free items UNTIL I have received your contribution to my post costs. (This is just to make sure I don't end up posting hundreds of overseas letters and only get a dozen responses with stamps included.) Fair enough?

Any stamps at all are fine to send. Prefer commemoratives in mint sets and minisheets, so just what ever is easy for you.

So please don't email me your address. Include it with your letter when you write and send me your stamps. (And I'm happy to include some New Zealand used too if you'd like a few of our country's interesting issues, and like to send me some of your used ones.)

regards, Bruce.

I made the local newspaper on Day 2 of the Timpex
National Stamp Exhibition, cycling with Her Worship,
the Mayor, and a NZ Post postie. I could not smile at
the camera as the Mayor and Pam are doing, as I was
trying to avoid running over the photographer's feet!


Observe that the cover I am holding has a BLOCK OF FOUR of
the bikepost stamp! I have no idea who ended up with that.
The ones I have just have a single stamp on as in the photo
in my first message.

Got it :oops: My day to be stupid.

I've sent you a letter with my address and about US $3.35 in mint stamps as well as a nice group of cancelled US (think the oldest is mid 1930's). I put them all in an cachet envelope that I designed to match the current US international mail issue, which is on your cover of course. Hope you like.

Hi Panterra, YES please.

thankyou for this great offer.

If any still available please reserve one lot for me.

I will send you some nice current commemorative stamps to compensate you.

They will be posted this afternoon but will take a few extra days to reach you as we are in a country area.

They probably won't reach Adelaide until Monday evening, then they have to get to you.

Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you,

"Captain Cook" magazine ran this report.
I have blurred out Don Mee's address to
preserve his privacy.

Sure, they are all signed. 8)

One day my autograph may have more value than the cover! Still, that's philately for you. We never know what will have value tomorrow, otherwise we would all spend up large on those items today!
