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
have used sufficient postage.
It would be nice to use attractive
commemorative stamps and a
nice envelope for possible
cover collection.
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 AJD STAMPERS CLUB

Robin participants are expected
to participate in the message
board posting. It can
be a participation of stamp
issues and discussion, post
stamps links or stamp stories,
trading requests, contest
participation, 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
becomes to be dropped from
the Round Robin.
9. Those
participants that we have
not heard from for awhile
and with no activity on the
message board or clubs will

Robin. Activity includes the
message post when you receive
or send the RR.
