UPDATED Information sheet.
Note the £10 charge for the opening day !! (Nothing unusual for major UK shows)

Having suffered with various health issues throughout the winter and with the ongoing war here making things difficult, I didn't think I would make this event.
But my wife thinks I should have a break so I will be off to my first 'EuroPhilEx' next month.
I don't think there are too many British-based members here at Stamporama, but if any are watching, then will you be going to too ?

Looks like a pretty big show. Have fun!

Have a great visit to the show! 2,000 frames of exhibits sounds incredible. I am planning to go to the Boston show in 2026 but overseas this year would be a bit much I am afraid. We would, of course, appreciate any pictures you are able to share of the show.

Thanks guys ! And yes, I will post some pics when I get back.
The exhibits will take up the time but I always enjoy those hours looking at stamps I cannot afford and the different ways of presentation. As I don't need dealers' stands anymore, I have set aside a day just for the Exhibits. Unlike the recent London events, I will have the opportunity to view all the exhibits if time allows. The London events are held in a smaller venue and the exhibits are changed half way through the show !!
If my health allows, I would love to make 'Boston 2026'. I can dream !!

I just noticed that 'Boston 2026 World Stamp Show' have a stand at EuroPhilEx ! Stand No.21
I'll be sure to have a chat and get a picture of their stand !!

Does anyone know who would be representing 'Boston 2026' at EuroPhilEx or a way I could find out. Thanks.
Plans for next weekend are ongoing. I will be visiting a friend of mine and travelling up with him on the Saturday. He is the auctioneer of the Cinderella Stamp Club and we will be taking the auction lots with us for the room auction on the 10th and the Spring auction on the 11th for viewing.
It promises to be an exciting day as long as health issues don't agree !!
Sunday is set aside for viewing the exhibits and searching for freebies !!! 
More another time.

The ongoing war here took a turn yesterday when missiles landed near the International Airport. Many airlines cancelled flights........including British Airways ! So I quickly got the message, and the refund, but was stuck without a flight. I thought my EuroPhilEx adventure was over but my daughter had other ideas.
A more expensive flight was found with terrible arrival times but as the saying goes...."It's better than nothing".
Just no treats this trip !

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor missiles nor gloom of night stays Michael from attending EuroPhilEx 2025! I love it! Stay safe and please provide updates/pictures and scans of any items you might pick up.
Thanks Ernie !
Today I was packing all the Stamp paraphernalia I might need and sorting items into a couple of albums for selling.
Hopefully no more surprises or bumps !!
I can imagine this will be my last holiday that is 'all about stamps' so better make the most of it !!
Fingers crossed

In the past, I have been known to pass the word around when a major Stamp Exhibition looms, more especially when I plan to attend.
Given my age and the state of my knees (and other body parts), this may well be my last major Exhibition that I will travel long-distance to. So who is up for it ?
I have passed the message on TSF also and no doubt word will appear elsewhere too. It will be the first time I have been to a major Stamp show at the NEC so it should be good.
The first EuroPhilEx event was held in London in 2015 in between the two Major UK events of 2010 and 2020 (2022 due to Covid).
It's a bit of a way ahead but for those who need to plan.............
