Dear Alyssah,
Last night I spoke to Peter Leitch and others involved with Melbourne Stampshow 09 exhibits. I confirmed that I will pay the return postage cost (as an insured Parcel) on your QE 2 exhibit, should your application be accepted. I think it is likely you will be successful, now that I have confirmed the return arrangements. They are still processing exhibit applications and it could be a little while yet before the final choice is made. At this point you will be advised and also you will learn of the the other Youth exhibitors in Stampshow.
Kind regards,
Richard Breckon
