It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of a commemorative cover to celebrate the England Women's football team winning back-to-back UEFA European Championship! This is an addition to our published schedule but CILP could not let this outstanding achievement in women's sport go past without marking the event.

The Travelling Local Post c.d.s. was introduced on 24 July 2025 to accompany the Postmaster or authorised volunteer postal staff, when delivery of large or heavy mail, or standard contract mail is required, and travelling to the mainland UK is necessary.
This also includes any requirement for motorised delivery for priority items which is occasionally required for large packets and heavy parcels that normally would take too long to reach their destination via local standard or express services, or by normal onward transit through mainland postal services.
Its inaugural use was on mail and postcards posted on the mainland by the new Travelling Local Post Mobile Service on 25 July 2025.

CILP is pleased to announce that our Cover Service has now been extended to include a new option for pre-ordering First Day Covers and First Day Issue Postcards and Maxi Cards (when issued).
Service Option 'C' (see Cover Service page) enables collectors in the UK, Europe, North America and Oceania, to pre-order our new issue covers direct from CILP.
All orders will be despatched under separate cover bearing CILP stamps (and onward transit by Royal Mail UK 2nd Class or International Standard). A tracked shipping option is also available on request.
This service enables collectors to get covers sent to them directly on issue, and helps us to meet the demand for FDCs prior to their production and avoid leaving some collectors disappointed when cover stock is sold out quickly.
The Cover Service now offers a full range of options for personalised covers bearing c.d.s. cancellations and Pictorial Postmarks, and pre-orders for FDCs and FDI Postcards.
