Exhibition frames are secured
7 August 2014: George Sparis, President of the OC, met with Mr. Angelos Stoumbis, Director of the Philatelic Bureau, and Mr. Moses Constantinis, Special Advisor, both of the Hellenic Post (ELTA), in order to announce NOTOS 2015 and secure the exhibition frames.
The venue is confirmed
16 July 2014: The first meeting between George Sparis and Lorentzos Chazapis on behalf of the OC and Mr. Andreas Pahatouridis, Mayor of Peristeri, was concluded. It seems that the City Council will grant their permission to the OC to stage NOTOS 2015 at the Peristeri Exhibition Centre in November 2015.
NOTOS reconsidered
9 November 2013: “Hellas-Cyprus 2013” was concluded yesterday. Meanwhile the Athens School of Fine Arts venue proved a lost case, valuable time was lost, so NOTOS 2014 was cancelled. The OC is seeking another suitable hall to stage the exhibition, this time as NOTOS 2015.
OC members are appointed
22 May 2013: On exactly NOTOS first birthday, a Hellenic Philotelic Society Administrative Council approved the budget and appointed the Organizing Committee of NOTOS 2014 scheduled to be held at the grounds of the Athens School of Fine Arts in November 2014: George Sparis (President), Ioakim Chalvatzidopoulos, Costas Chazapis, Lorentzos Chazapis, Haris Chrysostomou, Nikos Mallouchos, Anthony Manoloudis and Andreas Nikolaidis (members). It is exactly the same OC that is currently working towards the National Philatelic Exhibition “Hellas-Cyprus 2013” which will act as a prelude to the upcoming bigger international.
NOTOS is born
22 May 2012: Anthony Virvilis, George Sparis and Costas Chazapis on behalf of the Hellenic Philotelic Society met with Pantelis Leoussis, President of the Hellenic Philatelic Federation, and announced the HPS’ intention to set up a Regional Exhibition in Greece. NOTOS has just been born, though not christened yet.
