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
you open the envelope and
find out the different stamps
that you might not expect.
In order for it to be enjoyable,
the following rules need
to be adhered to:
DESCRIPTION
This is a method that certain
club member utilize to exchange
stamps among themselves.
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, 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 can expect
to receive a packet for
review about every 8 to
10 weeks. Of course
this 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, owner/founder
of the AJD Groups. You need
to be an active member of
AJD for a month and subsequently
have an activity post on
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 Round Robin Master
List and your name will
be forwarded to the Host.
The Host will initiates
each Round Robin packet
and prepares the mailing
list. As Zita is the central
Round Robin manager, other
hosts can prepare Round
Robin packets from the mailing
list.
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 a 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 Round
Robin must be willing to
send 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

It would be nice to use
attractive commemorative
stamps and a nice envelope
for possible cover collection.

the number of stamps you
keep on the mailing list.

you receive the Round Robin
envelope and the moment
you mail it to the next

who do not send stamps to
