Adventures in philately...

The envelope with the France & Colonies Philatelic Society membership materials landed in our mailbox today, marked "Return to sender. No forwarding address." As it happened, I Googled the name of the society's corresponding secretary and gained enough confidence in a particular email address to venture a "cold call" via email, asking if this was, indeed, the email address of the society's corresponding secretary.

It was.

And no, no application had been received, despite there being a forwarding order for the old address.

Go figure.

In the end, I emailed scans of my application (which will kick off the process of becoming a member) and was instructed to resend the pages and my check to the new address, this, despite my being prepared to pay the dues via PayPal.

It turns out the address for PayPal payments is no longer valid (in the sense of, the person associated with the email is no longer the treasurer).

I'm sure this will all get sorted out, eventually.

Cheers...
