 CPS Meeting
The 6th meeting of the CartoPhilatelic Society took place on May 29, 2016 in New York City, during the 2016 World Stamp Show. Close to a dozen members and interested visitors attended the meeting held at the Javits Convention Center, venue of the 2016 World Stamp Show. Four presentations were given during the two hour meeting. CPS President Mark Honig delivered “Maps on Stamps” a colorful and comprehensive presentation by CPS President Emeritus and meeting organizer Miklos Pinther who, unfortunately, was unable to be present that day. This was followed by TNCP Journal Editor Martin Oakes’ presentation of “Don’t Lick the Stamp” an illustrative lecture on organizing and writing up a collection. In addition Martin presented “CPS Web Status Report” prepared by CPS web administrator Reese Plews, detailing status of some of the web site related updates and projects. Discussion time was available after the presentations.
CPS Booth
In addition to the meeting on May 29th, the Society occupied a booth in the “Society and Study Groups” area of the conference center. It was the first time that the CPS had a booth during a show and we want to thank NYC member Richard Ropiak and all the other volunteers who helped staff the booth during the show. Attendance at the booth was steady and many CPS membership brochures were distributed. Displays of a large binder containing the printed version of the Maps on Stamps Rev. 7 Checklist along with the Society’s OP#1 “America on the Map” were also the focus of much interest from the visitors. A couple of new members were recruited during the eight day event.
CPS Members Win Awards
Two members of the Society exhibited during the show and both won awards. Mr. Takao Nishiumi from Japan won a Gold Medal for his exhibit entitled “The History of Cartography-Mapping the World and Regions,” and Mr. Roger Van Laere from Belgium won a Large Silver Medal for his exhibit entitled “Peruvian Prehistory.” Congratulations to both Takao and Roger! [ if we have missed any other members who exhibited, please let us know! ] On Friday June 3rd, the American Topical Association held their meeting and one of the highlights was the awarding of the Distinguished Topical Philatelist for 2016 to CPS member Mr. Bob Lamb.
The CPS President and Officers would like to thank Mr. Miklos Pinther and Mr. Richard Ropiak for helping to organize our Society’s attendance during the show and making it a success. Also, a special thanks to so many members and people who visited the both to say hello and show your support for the Society! [ an additional report about the show and some general thoughts about the show and contents of the philatelic exhibits will be forthcoming in a future issue of TNCP. -web admin ]
