In order to allow enough space for putting the stamps, the
lettering of the address on the covers should be positioned properly
and kept fairly small. The address must be in full and no fewer than
10 covers will be accepted with each order.
Serviced covers written to a local address may be collected
on Saturday (November 24) from the office where the order was placed.
Covers addressed overseas will be sent forward by ordinary
surface mail, unless there are sufficient stamps to cover airmail
or registration charges.
The closing time for accepting advance orders will be noon on
Wednesday (November 21).
The Post Office will also be accepting first day covers on Friday
at counters at all post offices.
The covers will be impressed with the normal post office steel
date stamp and handed back to the person presenting them. No time type
however will appear in the post mark.
The articles should bear an indication that they are first
day covers and must be addressed to a local address. They must not bear
any other cancellation and must not be registered items.
Special posting boxes will also be available at the three post
offices on Friday for those who wish to have first day covers carefully
hand-postmarked before despatch to the address on the cover.
Note to Editors: Photographs of the commemorative stamps will be boxed for collection this evening.
