Exhibitions
Upcoming New Zealand exhibitions
There is an interesting programme of exhibitions coming up for those of you who like exhibiting or just looking, or adding to your collections.
Tarapex 2008, 7-9 Nov 2008 (incorporating the Australasian Challenge)
Timpex 2009, Sept/Oct 2009, Timaru
Palmpex 2010, Oct/Nov 2010, Palmerston North
Canpex 2011, August 2011, Christchurch
Huttpex 2007
Huttpex 2007 is now history – a very successful exhibition, with enough exhibits to cover all interests but not so many that you couldn’t have a good look at many of them, and a good range of dealers who were kept on their toes throughout. The Grand Award was won by Don Richardson with US Postal Rates 1851-1863 and the Runner-up was Frank Pauer with Australian First Day Cover Producers 1913-1965.
Congratulations to all participants and to members of the Organising Committee!

Exhibiting Classes
A ‘First Day Covers’ class has been added to the list of national philatelic classes, using judging criteria of the Australian experimental FDC class. This class was offered at Huttpex for the first time, and an Australian exhibitor was the runner-up to the Grand Award!
A “Development’ class has also been approved. This is for adult exhibitors, and is aimed at encouraging new exhibitors. Entries are open only to NZ entrants, may be one or two frames, and can be entered only by those who have not previously gained 70 points or more in a national exhibition for either a one frame or multi frame exhibit. Gemstone awards will be made.
Details about both these classes are available from Norman Banfield at [email protected]
Charities Act
The NZPF Secretary recently sent out a special notice about this Act and its likely applicability to philatelic clubs and societies.
Most of our members will be non-profit organisations and are therefore not liable for income tax on the first $1,000 of non-member income, but will probably not be a charity in terms of the new Act. It is strongly recommended you follow up on this matter, by reading the notice sent out by the Secretary and accessing the www.charities.govt.nz website.
Southern Skies Stamp Camp 2007
This year’s camp was held at the Blue Skies camp near Christchurch from 1-8 July. Geoff Tyson and Barbara Streeter were again to the fore, and many of those attending completed exhibits which were later seen at Huttpex 2007.
The Philatelic Youth Council (PYC) launched a new book at Huttpex covering the first 40 years of youth camps in NZ, 1966-2006. It has many photos of campers and venues and camp philatelic items, and is available from the PYC, PO Box 2979, Auckland for $35 plus $5 postage.
The NZ National Philatelic Trust
The Trust has supported a range of philatelic activities in NZ over many years now, including national exhibitions. It receives top-up funding from time to time from NZ Post. Organisers of future national exhibitions should note that there will be a profit-sharing arrangement between the exhibition and the trust in return for funding from NZ Post.
Federation Annual General Meeting
Don’t forget this is coming up in November. The Federation Secretary has sent some details already and will be providing further information in October. Remember this is your Federation, so it needs your input and support when it comes to nominating people for positions.

Southern Region: Geoff Tyson, John Wilson (Timaru)
