An audacious attempt to beat the Guinness World Record for the most postcards posted in one location in one day is being mounted by the South Nottinghamshire village of Keyworth on 14 July 2010. The idea is to wrest the current record of 5,216 from the Indian town of Tamilnadu. Previous record-holders were towns in the U.S.A. and China, so it may be the time for the honour to come to the U.K.
A number of special postcards - 25 so far - have been sponsored by local clubs and businesses, each carrying a special village ‘windmill’ logo and text. Themes covered include Football Club, Scouts, Guides, Post Office, Cricket Club, Tennis Club, Choir, U3A and Rotary. Every card posted on 14 July will get a souvenir handstamp, to be used on that day only, to make the cards extra collectable.
