Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of moving and I have a new address. Please contact me for it before you send anything my way. I'm forwarding mail from my old address, but I'd rather not rely on that.

Thanks!

Has anyone seen my Postal-Only HH, 'cado luv? (AQ 265509)

It doesn't have a logbook (to keep the weight down). Last logged in May 2016. After having so many traditional HH's go "missing", I was hoping that a postal-only HH would have better luck!
Mystery Postal #408 is now open

Mystery Postal #408 was posted today. Check out the tracker at https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gTrackerId=9621

For those who are new to mystery postals and for those who need a refresher the rules follow.

To get this postal you will have to guess the theme/name/subject of the stamp. Clues will be posted on the postal boards and on this tracker. I will try and post one per day. For each clue posted each person may make one guess prior to the next clue being posted.

Guesses should be sent to IrishRef via AQMail, not posted on the boards! Guesses will only be accepted from AQ members through AQMail.

Even if you have no clue take a guess anyway. Half the enjoyment is seeing the range of incorrect answers and how people connected clues for those guesses. The first ten to correctly guess will be notified by AQMail. Tracker order will be typically be determined by order of giving the correct answer (Exception to this is international winners who will be at the end of the tracker). The correct answer with how each clue is related will be posted once the postal is full.

Clues:
1. 18

Seeking Game of Thrones Stamps

The Winter Blahs 2018 is still seeking donations of Game of Thrones related stamps!

If you have any GoT stamps that you have carved for Postals or LTCs would you consider lending to Winter is Coming - Blahs 2018? They can be returned after the event in January, or if you want, we can plant them permanently in the spring as part of a GoT series.

Please let me know if you would be interested. We would need the stamps by Christmas week for planting in the first week of January.

Thank you!!!
Lynn

Sorry you are bothered by the board posts. Many like and look forward to these. That being said the method to not see them is to click ignore thread. You can do this on any board for any thread that doesn't interest you. That is the reason I keep all clue posts for each box in one continuous thread. Easy to ignore. So when I post mystery postal #409 you will need to once again select ignore thread.

Have a great holiday season!
