For the good news: Thank you AMark, thank you Glen! (And thanks Ubobo.R.O., for the post in the Happy Day thread.)

Thanks for the nominations: Wolfgang, Ubobo.R.O., Stamp collector, and Catweazle.

Question: May I nominate a philatelic colleague to receive the Stamp News subscription I have won? The reason is that I have had a lifetime subscription to Stamp News since its launch in the present form (yea these many years ago!).

Roger .. yes I am sure if you supply Kevin with a name and address you'd like to go to domestically he will be OK with that.

You are coming up soon to 10,000 posts I see and a new bauble - we can leave your avatar section as is, or change it to Thread of The Month Winner instead .. let us know!

Why Millennials have fallen in love with Stamp Collecting

When some are throwing up their hands in despair about the ageing demographic of the hobby, this thread demonstrates that this is not the whole story with new younger collectors putting their own spin on collecting.

RogerE · Post by **RogerE** » 21 Jul 2020 03:34

Side note: I have received confirmation from Kevin Morgan that my year's subscription to Stamp News has been assigned to my nominee (a younger collector whom I've been mentoring for several years), and he will begin receiving his complimentary subscription with the Aug 2020 issue. Thanks Kevin!

Please add your July nominations!

I also humbly thank those congratulating me.

I enjoy the Stampboards community and hope I can continue with my inputs for the benefit of all including myself trying to sort and rearrange what I have.

I must admit that the new easy way of entering scans is fuelling up my inputs

Thanks to all the people and the ´engines` that run this excellent board.
