Philatelic of Camagüey discusses heading for the Congress

Camagüey, - The collectors of the Philatelic Circle Ignacio Agramonte in this city debated multiple topics as the current situation of the postal cancellations, the international change and the quality of the design of the postal emissions of Cuba like part from the process of assemblies to the congress of the specialty, to takes place from the 27 to November 28 in Havana.

The meeting had the presence of José Raúl Lorenzo, president of the Cuban Philatelic Federation (FFC) and representatives of the Company of Mail in the territory, a bond that can perfect some limitations of the popular liking of the stamps and postal documents without doubts, which needs bigger training on the part of the personnel of the Postal Areas and classification centers.

In spite of difficulties in the exchange and the existence of envelopes of first day (FDC), the main critics approached the desconexion between the approaches and the collectors' opinions with regard to the politics of emissions of the Ministry of the Communications.

The topic of the high quantity of annual emissions, value facial and not tariff approved by the International Postal Union and the reduction in the conceptual quality of the design are others of the edges that will surely have continuity and polemic in the Cuban capital.

Still when young students of the Superior Institute of Design (ISDI) present novel projects others of low quality prevail and that in many cases respond to institutional interests or the little creativity of a small group of designers, it proves that the Cuban coleccionism suffers of subjective difficulties.

Besides the interventions, outstanding collectors of the county received diplomas for their participation in competitions and exhibitions, were carried out the proposals to the national candidacy and of the Central Region and the Circle chose their four delegates to the Congress.

Camagüey has about 300 members that which converts the CF Ignacio Agramonte in bigger than its type in the country outside of Havana and harbors a great philatelic tradition that includes the privilege of possessing the only exclusive edition of stamps of its own region in the national postal history, the case of the emission of Port Prince during the North American occupation.
