Federation Award

We are pleased to announce that Ernie Leppard has been awarded an ‘Award of Honour’ to recognize the work he has done for New Zealand philately through the New Zealand Society of Great Britain.

Federation Website

Since the last quarterly meeting the webmaster advises 37 pages have been added or amended. There are still a number of societies who have not provided additional information or updated their webpages.

It is believed several societies have not added material because they argue none of their members have access to the web. It is not existing members the web is aimed at but all those collectors out there who do not belong to a society.

Brochures

Federation has produced four brochures to assist societies answer some frequently asked questions. Two were released with the hard copy of this newsletter and the other 2 with the minutes of the last quarterly meeting of the Federation Executive.

Comments on these brochures and any ideas for others are welcome. These and any requests for additional copies should be forwarded to Dave Fentress, [email protected]

The brochures have a space for the stamp clubs to ‘stamp’ their own name and contact details should they wish to do so.

Federation Treasurer

It is with regret we note Trevor Bevan’s decision to resign from the position of Federation Treasurer effective from the upcoming AGM. We thank Trevor for the efficient service he has provided to Federation since he accepted the appointment.

The appointment of a new Treasurer will be required to be made at the AGM and nominations for the position are requested.

List of Speakers

As advised earlier Federation has been attempting to put together a list of speakers societies may call upon to provide talks and displays. Myra Luxton, who was asked to co-ordinate the list, has with assistance from others, arrived at the list below. These people are willing to give talks and their topics are shown.
