The 4th meeting of the CartoPhilatelic Society was held during the APS Stamp Show 2010 in Richmond VA, August 12 – 15, 2010. The Richmond show was extensive, with at least 150 dealers and over 900 exhibit frames.
Three members of the Society, attended the meeting in Richmond on August 14. Martin Oakes, the editor of the Society’s Journal demonstrated a new macro that he is developing that will allow users to integrate an updated Excel version of the Map on Stamps Checklist with the user’s personal copy of an older version. Sometime the user will annotate the checklist with notes and additional information. The macro will allow a smooth integration of the old and new Checklists without losing personal comments or creating duplicate entries. Martin expects the macro to be completed by year-end. It was decided to issue Rev. 5 of the Checklist to coincide with the completion of the macro. We also discussed the possibility of using MagCloud to print and distribute The New CartoPhilatelist. An actual test was carried out using MagCloud to produce the October 2010 issue. The group also discussed having the Checklist available to members online.
The first order of business was the Secretary/Treasurer Report. This report is detailed in the New CartoPhilatelist Journal, #21, April 2008 During the meeting Miklos raised the subject of a second volume in the Society’s Occasional Publication series and presented a copy of “Old European Road Maps” from the Postal History Journal (1980), which perhaps could be used as the basis for the second volume. Another idea was to follow up on a reported sixth volume that Walter Klinefelter had in preparation at the time of his death. Al met his daughter recently and will contact her to see if there is anything there that perhaps we could take on and complete. These discussions will move to the new Society member’s forum where they can be further discussed. Martin Oakes was introduced as the new editor of the New CartoPhilatelist. David reported that Revision 4 of the Maps on Stamps checklist is ready to go with only minor corrections being made. An announcement will be in the next issue of the TNCP. Several issues were raised about the Checklist: David reported that were a couple of members interested in putting the Checklist into some type of database system, however there will be some tradeoffs in doing this. This discussion also, has started on the new Society member’s forum. David also delivered a presentation sent from Reese concerning the Society’s web site. The report gave details into the differences between the two sites which the Society has and provides an overview of some new revisions and enhancements to the sites. The next topic for discussion was Exhibiting, lead by Miklos. He presented a paper with a lot of information on exhibiting, including rules on exhibiting from the FIP and APS. Miklos mentioned several reasons for exhibiting and suggested that both individual and a Society exhibits might be in order. Mark made a very interesting presentation on Maps on Gutters. Numerous examples from many countries were presented. David then concluded the formal meeting with a short presentation on map stamps of the Military Order of Malta. A very nice sales/trading session followed with many of us adding to our collections. Friday evening the Society group met at the Boathouse Restaurant at the Hyatt for a very nice dinner. The Saturday evening dinner was at Mariana Jack, an interesting place not far from the Hyatt. A wonderful time was had by everyone with plenty of talk and discussion. All present agreed that meeting every two years would be appropriate. Two suggestions were made: One of the ASDA Mega-Shows in New York City, or the London 2010 Festival of Stamps (May 8-15, 2010, Islington). There seemed to be more favor for NYC since that would hopefully allow for more attendees. We look forward to meeting more of our Society members at a future meeting.
The Society held a meeting during the World Philatelic Exhibition in Washington DC. The full event ran from May 27, through June 3rd, 2006.

Thursday June 1, 2006 (PM): Cartophilatelic Society Annual dinner and banquet: 6:30 pm at the Tabard Inn http://www.tabardinn.com/home.htm.
