Welcome! You're in! Have you participated in the DPE before? Screen name looks familiar.


Yes, I think it was last year.

I just had a bunch of postcards made, BigBoy, the Queen Wilhelmina train and some others. So I'm ready.

We're at 19, wrapping up sign ups tomorrow, Friday September 15th.

Will we get a final push to get us to at least 20? I hope so!

I'll work with Harm and Fred to sort our list once signups wrap up, and with luck, we'll post the sorted list sometime this weekend.

Maybe the admins can plug this DPE under the header website news on the frontpage?

OK, let's go! Here is the sending schedule for DPE 2023.

Other then previous years we have tried to really optimise the total flying distance of all cards togehter. However, with some regions more present than others, and the rule to send/recieve 5 cards each, your cards won't always fly to the other side of the world. Also you may have to send a card to someone that was on your list last year as well, but it's always nice to stay in contact .

Therefore, this year the is not a list where you have to send to the next 5 persons, but please see the table below.



To make this happen each person should PM their postal address to the 5 people that are ticked in the vertical column under your name.
For example Pegelli should PM his postal address to Adub128, MartyMoose, Bonneville, Kobra64 and jvsanchez.

Don't post your address here!!

One additional request is to write the date on your card. Sometimes it's hard to see when a card was sent since the postmark can be non-existent or illegible.

If you have more than 5 cards available then just announce it in this thread. Usually there are volunteers to get one of those via a PM with their address.

When PMing your postal address please mind its formatting - put it in exactly the same format as expected by your post office: different countries use different formatting and it can be painful to make sure that all is done correctly.

As usual the unspoken agreement is that postal addresses exchanged by PMs will be used solely for the purpose of Dyxum Postcard Exchange. Please mind privacy of fellow Dyxumers!

Have fun all and don't forget to report the cards you received here in this thread!!

I've PM'd my address to the folks I expect cards from too.

And like @gregja, I am more than happy to send extras. PM your address if you would like one.

@Fred and @Harm ... thanks for the help making that grid! I like the new approach!

Safe travels, postcards!!
