Licked!
p. 79 · Read in the full issue
This new series of Fiji stamps which will commemorate the First South Pacific Games includes a picture of hockey players—but hockey is not one of the sports at the Games! The error occurred because the designs for the stamps were chosen in the middle of 1962 when it was thought that hockey would be in the programme. Royal approval had been given to the designs and printing had started before hockey was omitted from the final programme. Many of the de signs are based on Rob Wright photo graphs. The stamps were released on August 6, but there will be a special cancellation at the temporary Buckhurst Park post office (the main venue for the Games) on the opening day of the Games.
