Big news from the IPDA!!!
After our recent Internet Philatelic Dealers Association (IPDA) Directors meeting, the topic of providing our most recent newsletter to the general public was discussed and approved. Previously, newsletters were only available to current members but it was decided that there is a value to providing the current newsletters to everyone in hopes that not only it will provide some world-class philatelic content but also aid current and aspiring dealers with their endeavours. For example, I am told that our own Scott Payton has a great article coming up in the October issue (Thanks Scott!) Current IPDA member and a splendid dealer and philatelic historian, John Griffiths, has a great examination of the Theresienstadt Ghetto before and during WWII. Thank you, John and well done!
I am very pleased to now provide the following link to said current newsletter and going forward, as new ones become available, I will post here with the current link. Please take a few minutes out of your day and check it out. I hope you all enjoy the content and for those of you considering applying for membership, I'll provide a link to our site so you can review membership requirements along with our selling and listing guidelines.

Are there other avenues that the newsletter is being promoted? Any other sites?
Anything we IPDA members can do to help disseminate it?
Also, are previous news letters going to be made available, or just those going forward?
Other avenues for promotion, well we have had and still have adverts in some stamp magazines / club journals, ...we also do Twitter and FB and I have done Instagram on occasions in the past. Now here is the thing.. we need and have been trying to find a volunteer to take on the advertising and marketing role :-) drop me a line if you can take this on Scott Michael General Secretary
PS the next issue ( out soon) of the Newsletter has I have to say and agree with Greg a brilliant piece from Scott.. and it is the first of a series of 7 pieces.

I have one of the 20k bills I acquired incidental to an old German stamp album. This was in it along with a bunch of German Notgeld.
I can also report to you that the October issue will be released in fairly short order.
Thank you all for your interest in the IPDA!
