Postcard Exchange Round 19 signup

[rst]

Happy New Year to all of you postcarders!

It is January and that means it is time for the next rounds signup. Round 19!

This is the schedule for round 19:

January: sign up
February and March: print and send
April: breather

As in the previous rounds, please sign up by sending a PM to me containing your name, address (including the country - this is an international exchange) and the number of cards you are able to send or say maximum for the maximum possible number of cards.

As in the previous rounds, if you have been in the exchange earlier and if your address is the same, you can sing up just with giving the number of cards here in the thread. No PM needed in this case.

As in the previous rounds I will post lists of participants in this thread every once in a while. If you signed in (or if you think so) please come back to this thread and check if your name is on the list. If the name should be on the list but is not, then let me know. Once the address lists are sent out early in October I can not do any changes.

Please read on:

As in the previous rounds, not all participants have been able to send out the cards. For whatever reasons, if you have not fulfilled your last rounds commitment, send your cards before you sign in for this round. Just be fair.

And as in the previous rounds, I am looking forward to this round.

Now for those new to the postcard exchange, here is how it all works out.

First: It is fun!

Second: When sign up is over, I will prepare address lists which I will PM to the participants. You will have to send a card to every address on that list and you should receive back a card from everyone on that list. So if you sign up for e.g. 20 cards you will have to send 20 cards and you should receive 20 cards back.

Third: Did I mention that it is fun?

Cheers
Ruediger

Put me in for the max this time. I really missed out only doing 20! This is so much fun. I'll check with Jane to see if she want's in again before I sign her up!

OK, I'm in again! Stick with 20 at this stage (but may change my mind closer to the end date)

Cheers

Alright, now that I have my own darkroom.. throw me in for 50, or the max if it is lower. Same address as before.

Jane is going to sit this one out. She has a lot of school to get caught up on. Maybe next round for her!

[Christopher Walrath]

I'm in for an abbreviated amount this time. Lots of sticks in the fire with BPE, CIM and all. So 15 this time. Thanks again, Rudy.

Happy New Year to all involved in this exchange. As others have said the Postcard Exchange is fun, but it is also addictive! A big THANK YOU to Ruediger for coordinating the exchange and sending lists of names to each of us.

Ruediger mentioned the possibility of modifying the 4-month cycle of the exchanges. My opinion is that 4-month cycle works for me, and fits nicely into a year. If the cycle was 5-months then each year will have different months as "sign-up", "print and post", ... And, 6-months is too long between exchanges - "Exchange Withdrawal" becomes a real possibility. I like the suggestion that the sign-up period be 15 or 20 days instead of and entire month. I am open to whatever the group decides to do.

I am in for the max this round. Same address as Round 18.

Regards,
Darwin
