Clinics for those interested in writing up or exhibiting material
Jenny Banfield, Federation Education Officer, is happy to host a workshop for any region, for intending exhibitors, or those who have already exhibited and would like help to improve. Contact Jenny at [email protected]
Maximaphily
Good to know that CALs (customised advertising labels) of the sort issued in NZ are now acceptable in maximaphily exhibits. This will widen the options for those people interested in this form of collecting and exhibiting.
Modern Traditional Experimental Class – last 50 Years
Further to the note in the last News Release, the class will follow the existing traditional philately rules, except that exhibits will be restricted to stamp issues of the 50 years before 2013. eg if one or two values were issued in 1962 and the other 14 values from 1963 onwards, it would be acceptable. However, it would not be acceptable to show a British colony issue of 1954 when the 1964 watermark changes only amounted to say 1 of 5 frames.
The points breakdown has also been slightly modified to exclude importance. The 10 points previously allocated to this criterion have been equally distributed to Presentation and Treatment.
The revised points are:
| Presentation | 10 points |
| Treatment | 25 points |
| Related Knowledge, Personal Study & Research | 35 points |
| Condition | 10 points |
| Rarity & Difficulty of Acquisition | 20 points |
As the Australia 2013 exhibition is an international, entrants need to qualify beforehand at a national-level exhibition, with at least a vermeil medal for 5 frames. More details can be found at www.sydneystampexpo2011.org.au
The CPS 100 exhibition in Christchurch 2011 is offering the first opportunity to qualify for Australia 2013.
Modern Philately Experimental Class –last 20 years
FIAP has recently approved a new experimental class to promote modern philately. At CHINA 2011 in Wuxi there will be a promotional Class for Modern Philately – material issued by postal authorities within the past 20 years (1990-2011). This class is available for exhibits complying with the special regulations for Traditional, Postal History, Postal Stationery, Aerophilately, Thematic and Revenue classes.
Promotional Class exhibits will be judged according to the regulations for these classes with points awarded as follows:
| Presentation | 10 points |
| Treatment | 30 points |
| Knowledge & Research | 35 points |
| Condition | 10 points |
| Rarity | 10 points |
| Difficulty of Acquisition | 5 points |
Entry will be based on the recommendation of national commissioners, and at discretion of the organizing committee. Entry size is 3 frames.
From the FIP Thematic Commission
The Commission is encouraging exhibitors at the local level to get involved with a ‘thematic postage stamp’ class. This is essentially the topical way of collecting, which is popular with many. More information may be forthcoming at a future date.
From the NZPF Annual Meeting
This was President Len Jury’s last meeting, and Len reported on a wide range of matters, including
- the fact that membership had actually enjoyed a small increase, rather than a decline faced by many hobby clubs
- the ‘shop window’ exhibitions continued to attract new participants; 27 new exhibitors at Palmpex 2010
- the increasing numbers of NZ exhibitors at overseas exhibitions, and the amount of success at the highest leve
- special thanks to Jenny Banfield for her work in travelling around NZ promoting the hobby & encouraging exhibitors
- an improved financial base now achieved by Federation
- thanks to the Executive members, and to Commissioners and Judges who have carried our flag overseas
Norman Banfield was elected President and Bob Gibson re-elected as Secretary. The Executive has re-appointed Terry Isaac as Treasurer.
