Thu, 09/22/2011 - 14:15 — Anonymous Hongkong Post today (September 22)
announced details of the Special Stamps Issuing Programme 2012 and the 2012
Local Standing Order Service (LSOS). Hongkong Post's 2012 special stamp
issues centre around the delights in everyday life. Issues like "Hong Kong
Festivals", "Hong Kong Delicacies", "Hong Kong Insects II", "Working Dogs in
Government Service" and "Hong Kong, China - France Joint Issue on Art" all
relate to us while celebrating the dynamic lifestyle in our cosmopolitan
city. At the same time, the "Heartwarming Stamps (2006 version) Mini-pane
with Fragrance" and "12 Western Zodiac Signs" stamp issues will bring you
loads of fun with their unique designs. To dedicated philatelists, the "Year
of the Dragon" and "World Heritage in China Series No. 1: The Great Wall" are
the ones to watch out for as they are the first special stamps of the fourth
Lunar New Year Animal Series and the World Heritage in China Series
respectively. The Programme also includes various first-ever associated stamp
products, which help to spice up the fun of philately. The first-ever silk
stamp sheetlet under the "Year of the Dragon" and the "Gold and Silver Stamp
Sheetlet on Lunar New Year Animals - A Complete Collectible Set" will
undoubtedly pump up the New Year atmosphere. The new edition mini-pane of the
2006 "Heartwarming Stamps" with a new layout and an aromatic twist is bound
to melt your heart with rose fragrance. In addition, the first-ever
shield-shaped stamp in the stamp sheetlet of "The 150th Anniversary of the
Queen's College" commemorates the anniversary of the first government school
in Hong Kong. The themes and topics were carefully selected from among 110
different entries and meticulously developed from 98 initial designs by the
Stamp Advisory Committee in a series of meetings held throughout 2010 and
into 2011. Advance orders for the Programme may be placed with effect from
today through Hongkong Post's LSOS, and those who do so from September 22 to
October 25 are eligible to join an incentive scheme and receive attractive
gifts. Customers using the Stamp OnNet online ordering service will also
enjoy extra rewards as well as an extended period to take advantage of the
incentive scheme until October 31. Further information about the special
stamp issues and related products can be obtained from any post office and
from the Hongkong Post website at www.hongkongpost.com, or by calling the
Hongkong Post Philatelic Bureau hotline at 2785 5711. Appendix 1 Appendix 2
