At this moment, we have 29 signed up. I prefer to have a number evenly divisible by four, so that I can send out postal addresses in groups of four (your own and three others). While I wait for a PM from one person who has not yet let me know his or her postal address, I will accept the next three people to sign up. Pass the word to Doper friends!

OK, further registration is now closed. I still have not heard back from that one person. I’ll send out the lists later tonight.

Looking forward to it. I’m happy to send extras if we get some deadbeats.

Thanks.

PMs all sent out - and everyone has at least one non-U.S. recipient. Have fun!

Maybe saving some time for people, I just looked up how much it costs to send a postcard to the UK from the US: $1.15.

Thanks, **Helena** , that’s correct. The domestic U.S. postcard rate is still 34 cents.

Yeah, I know…sorry! 😃 I need to scan the cards for my archives before I send them out.

The place I want to get postcards from is only open for a couple hours on Saturday and Sunday, so mine won’t be going out until Monday. But don’t worry, I am highly reliable.
