| THE AJD ROUND ROBIN For members of AJD Groups only |
| Do you want to have some fun? The most exciting part of stamp collecting is receiving an envelope with the packet of stamps in the mail. The real joy begins when we open the envelope and find out the different stamps that we might not expect. In order for it to be enjoyable, certain rules need to be placed and followed. DESCRIPTION This is a method that certain club member utilize to exchange stamps among them. It operates very simply by circulating a packet of stamps to participating members. When you receive the packet you simply review the stamps, keep what you like for your collection, and replace those you kept with an equal number of stamps of similar quality and send the packet and the mailing list on to the next person on the mailing list. TIMING Because we have so many packets in circulation at the same time you could expect to receive a packet for review every 8 to 10 weeks or shorter. Of course this time depends upon everyone passing the packet along in a reasonable amount of time. If even one person holds up the progress of a packet it could take considerably longer. MEMBERSHIP In order to become a member you must be approved by Zita Demaree, the owner/founder of the AJD Groups. You need to be an active member of AJD for a month and subsequently has an activity post in the club message board. It requires your Username, Name, Address, and Collecting preferences. My e-mail address is ajdemaree@yahoo.com. Once the request has been approved, it will be added to the AJD Round Robin Master List and your name will be forwarded to Roger Windeler (WindyWHA) of USA who initiates each Round Robin packet and prepare the mailing list. As Roger is the centralize Round Robin manager, other host can prepare a Round Robinpackets from Roger's mailing list. He also keeps the statistics on how many lists each person has been included, how many stamps each person has kept, how long each packet takes to get through the list and etc. RULES AND PROTOCOLS 1. When you receive the selection of stamps, select those that you want for your collection and replace the stamps you keep with stamps of equal or better value preferably commemorative stamps. Please avoid including damaged stamps or high number of duplicates. When adding stamps, please match the preference of the next person receiving the packet and send them something interesting for their collection. 2. As we are an international club, all members of the AJD Round Robin must be willing to send to and receive stamps from other countries. 3. Move the packet along in a timely manner. Please try to send the envelope within 3 days to the next person on the list. Remember, other people are anxious to receive it. 4. Insure you have used sufficient postage. Also, make sure that the address is correct. It would be nice to use attractive commemorative stamps and a nice envelope for possible cover collection for mailing. 5. Record the number of stamps you keep on the mailing list.. 6. Once you receive the Round Robin envelope and the moment you mail it to the next person on the list, please post a message to WindyWHA at AJD STAMPERS CLUB message board at http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/ajdstampersclub. This way Roger can keep track the progress of the packet. 7. All AJD Round Robin participants are expected to participate in the message board posting. It can be a participation of stamps issues and discussion, post stamp links or stamp stories, trading request, contest participation and etc. 8. Any Round Robin participants who do not send stamps to the next person will be dropped from the Round Robin. Any claims of not receiving the Round Robin envelope forwarded for couple of times will also be dropped from the Round Robin. 9. And finally, those participants that we never heard from for awhile and no activity in the message board or clubs will be drpped from the Round Robin.
