Thank you very much, Sir
We are in process of down loading several software programs & updating our system also.
This will make it easier for our writers to post articles here. StampoRama is a great website, majority of members seem to be English speakers, but they understand our articles through translation. Hopefully, the translation is accurate and relatable.
Wishing everyone happiness & peace

The couple in the picture for the Pitcairn Island ran the stamp center for a long time. They retired several years ago. I have been unable to make contact with the company in the UK that is supposed to have taken that over. Do you know of anyone else handling Pitcairn Stamp new issues?
Hi Michael,
Pitcairn Islands Philatelic Bureau ended in 2019. Tower Mint in UK took over, but I don't know who take care new issues. Louise & Russell worked 16 years for Pitcairn Islands Philatelic Bureau. They shared some projects with Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. They also networking with Fiji & Cook Island stamp clubs which very few people know about. The couple retired in 2019. We heard that Louise's health was in decline, but later recovered. That might be the reason why they retired.

One of our member received a good news from Tower Mint which took over Pitcairn Islands Philatelic Bureau last year. Here's the letter from Tower Mint:
Dear Collector
The last 18 months or so has been an unprecedented time, with the worldwide pandemic affecting us all in some form or other. The pandemic has been a challenge to us all and subsequently it has been not possible to release a full commemorative stamp programme for 2021. However, we are delighted to announce the news today of two new Pitcairn Islands stamp issues for 2021.
20th November 2021 sees the first new issue from the Pitcairn Islands since February 2020, these six new stamps celebrate the 95th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The second new issue will follow on 4th December, this new issue pays tribute to HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time and can assure you that next year will see a full stamp programme with new and exciting themes.
First Issue & Second Issue is on sale today !
