Bnapex 2015

Is anyone on here going to BNAPEX this weekend?

YES, I am coming up from Rochester NY on Saturday morning. The re-start meeting of the precancel study group will be at 10am. See you there?

I will be driving down late Friday and staying to late Sunday. I'll have my laptop and a tablet so I can check this thread. I'll be going to the Study Groups as well as the bourse and the dinners.

jogil, I'll put a 2013 Unitrade in my trunk just in case.

I will try going tomorrow, but it will take me 2-3 hours of driving each way. jimjung: thanks

I'll probably arrive around 4pm.

I have been at BNAPEX since Wednesday evening. BNAPS Board meeting all day Thursday and very busy Study Group meetings all day today and two more days - Saturday and Sunday - filled with them. The bourse is excellent, the local committee running things is welcoming and skilled at their volunteer jobs and the delegates are really enjoyable!

I hope to meet you all, jogil, jimjung and chasa.

I went yesterday and found it to be a very enjoyable show. There were some dealers there that aren't at the CSDA shows. It was nice meeting you jimjung there and getting a Unitrade stamp catalog from you. I wish that I would have also met other SCF members like petermac, chasa and others but I arrived around 2 pm and only had 3 hours there to look at and buy stamps. I wish that I could have stayed there for the weekend, but I could not due to other things.

I just got back home - very pleasant drive over, all you can eat breakfast for 6.99, beautiful exhibits, and 4 stamps added:

Last evening we had a BNAPEX dinner at the Skylon Tower revolving restaurant. Here's a shot of the Canadian Falls from above.

jimjung...was there at the same time as you..stayed at Embassy Suite.

Found a Canada BK53b booklet with 401a and 404a booklet panes with new perforations 12 (11.85) rather than the usual old perforation 12 (11.95). This makes the 401a a new find for me.

I gave a talk at the re-entry study group meeting, the first one since getting the group going again. I managed to keep everyone awake. The bourse was great. I even got up to the Vincent Graves Greene Foundation and enjoyed a pleasant visit with the staff there. Very enjoyable trip.

I just returned home yesterday from Niagara Falls. Excellent bourse, fantastic exhibits. Dinner at the Skylon was impressive and the food at the awards banquet better than average. The Ramada Plaza was below standards.

Hi guys and gals

Yes I am still alive and kicking. Had a busier that normal spring and summer at the garden center.

I just though I would share (though many of you probably alwready know that my club, the Fredericton District stamp club will be hosting BNAPEX in 2016. We (me especially) are very exited about it.

I will post details as we have them ready. The dates are 29 sept to 2 oct 2016 and will be held at the Fredericton Inn where we have reserved the large ballroom for the event.
