Respected Prashant Bhai, Just now we arrived at Kolkata from Baroda after participating in "StampMania 2009" from 18th to 20th December. I want to congratulate all the management staff on conducting & organizing one of the best philatelic exhibitions I have ever participated during the last 40 years in India.

I took various dealers & collectors from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & Of course "The Mecca Of Indian Philately" Kolkata, accumulating a total of 25 people, all of whom attended the exhibition & participated in the "Marathon Walk" followed by the "Bullock Cart Mail Carrier", which was an unique experience & personally I feel that it was carried out for the first time ever in any Philatelic Gathering of such magnitude. Of Course, some small but ignorable mistakes might have occurred but those are bound to happen in a gala event of this stature & hence should completely be overlooked.

I am quite sure any other Philatelic Society In India will not be able to match your unparalleled achievement & accomplishment of Uniting such a large no. of philatelists on such a grand scale, flawlessly and perfectly, under a single platform, uniting them for the common cause of Philatelic progress of India.

We wish your society more success & prosperity in the forthcoming time, for the betterment & welfare of Indian Philately, which may inspire all other Philatelic societies to follow your path. Regards & Thanks, Cordially Yours, - Arun Bhattacharya. (Prop., Filatalie Cal) Kolkata, 23.12.2009

Thanks for your all updates which made me more happy, My Heartiest congratulations to all the award winners and participants too. - Jagannath Mani, Bangalore, 23.12.2009

Dear Prashant, Congratulations for holding a successful exhibition in Vadodara, It is very creditable for Philatelic Society to hold 400 + frame exhibition without help from Dept. of Post. The Venue was fairly large and accommodated frames as well as dealer booths. Something will have to be done about outdated frames which are in bad condition and that was the only blot. Otherwise the Exhibition was a great success, where philatelists could meet each other and also the dealers, who are our life line. Once agin congratulations to you and your team for a great stamp show. Warm regards, - Rajan Jayakar, Mumbai. Letter dated 22.12.2009

Every thing, right from the conception, advertising, communication, the special covers as a run up to stampmania, getting the exhibits, handling and despatch of the exhibits, a beautiful souvenir, awards and anything I may have missed, was simply superlative! Unfortunately, I could not attend the event in person but I am told that the trade fair was the best we have had in India so far. You and your team have contributed immensely to the development of Philately in India. This should be a bench mark and inspiration for organizers of future philatelic exhibitions.
