Very generous of you, RogerE! A lovely idea. The more young folk getting into this hobby, the better. It's not just old men who are cool!

Guys,

There is five days left in July. If you did not nominate a member or a thread, you still have time to do so.

Please add your July nominations!

RogerE · Post by **RogerE** » 27 Jul 2020 21:16

I second the nomination of Eli's thread
Laos on Stamps - The People and the Land
https://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=66924

This thread was initiated in Nov 2015, and has been added to regularly by
Eli ever since, now reaching 115 posts.
The posts are typically filled by a group of beautiful stamps, accompanied
by helpful commentary telling us all about the stamp subjects.

I would like to nominate johncrow for his many detailed threads on German stamps. These include how to pick varieties, colours, papers and watermarks. He shares many of his techniques for analysing colours and his extensive collections.

The following are some examples of John sharing his detailed knowledge.

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.

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

Sure the information is available to all of us elsewhere, but unless one fiddles around the images are next to useless for any study. Allanswood's thread saves us all time and bother.

I have not nominated a member for quite some time, but this recent thread deserves to be nominated for the September prize.

I would like to nominate:

KevinHedley and his wonderful tour of Australia along the Princess Highway thread.

A philatelic trip along the Princes Highway

It's a treat to read about places in Australia and see them in this thread, for me and or those that have never been to Australia before. A fantastic thread filled with philatelic reference that is a must read for all.

Ubobo.R.O. · Post by **Ubobo.R.O.** » 16 Sep 2020 10:01

The Puffin would like to second that nomination.

Waffle · Post by **Waffle** » 16 Sep 2020 11:59

If it is permissible, Waffle would like to third that nomination. An excellent road trip. I am looking forward to when he arrives in Traralgon, where we spent our first 8m years in Australia.
