Third International Heraldry Day: 10 June 2015

Postby Chris Green » 08 Feb 2015, 08:13

I was about to address this subject when I was trumped by an e-mail which reads as follows:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

A small group of heraldry enthusiasts have initiated a movement to celebrate heraldry in all of its forms, jurisdictions and styles on June 10th annually. Starting 3 years ago, there has been a steady increase in interest. Attached is a paper describing the event and activities which occurred last year.
This year the organizers are reaching out to additional groups to encourage participation in everyone's own unique fashion. For your membership or readers online and on face book, our page can be "liked" at:
https://www.facebook.com/celebrateheraldry
Information on Heraldic Events throughout the year can be sent here for posting on the FB page or you can post directly. We welcome posts to our page and will share those with multiple face book groups on occasion.
Please review the attached file which provides more information on IHD and come celebrate with us! If you require or desire short articles for newsletters or wish to post this to your web sites or forums, please let us know if you require any further assistance from us.

Respectfully,

International Heraldry Day Organizers.


The e-mail includes a zip file the contents of which at the moment I cannot seem to reproduce here, but I hope and expect the IHD Organisers can arrange.

I didn't get a zip file, mine arrived as a pdf. I have taken the liberty of uploading it to our website so that, perhaps, it can be linked to in any further discussion.

Chris,
The organizers of IHD have established an e-mail address: CelebrateHeraldry@gmail.com

I believe all organizations receiving that e-mail received a .PDF file. Very strange if yours came in as a .ZIP.

Although Martin has posted the document, I'm sure IHD Organizers would be happy to resend it if you wish (if for nothing else than to check and see if there's an e-mail attachment issue at your end... Given that Cheshire Heraldry appears to have it in tact. ;)
Be well,
Kathy

The file opens as a PDF but can be downloaded as a zip.

Hi folks. IHD intends to produce another T-shirt similar to last years. We've just posted the following on social media:

A CALL FOR ARMS! Greetings. We are preparing to put together the IHD 2015 T-Shirt. To do so, we request 18 stalwart armigers e-mail us a good quality image of their shield, and the city and country where the armiger resides to celebrateheraldry@gmail.com


The shirts are sold through zazzle and are not a profit making venture, but hopefully another way to "spread the word" - We'd be happy to have anyone here interested send us their information.
Be well,
Kathy

Since my shield is part of the presentation, I will have to get a T-shirt! :)
