Competitions
The Society holds informal philatelic competitions open to all members: the "Members' Competition" and the "Single Sheet" competition. Both competitions, held on different evenings, are judged by members attending that meeting.
Single Sheet Competition
Simply bring along one sheet/album page to display. Ideally you have written up the subject of that page to display the philatelic material to advantage and in a manner that is attractive and informative. Members will vote accordingly at the meeting.
Members' Competition
The Members' Competition is a fun event and opportunity to display your material.
- Entries can be 12 to 16 sheets.
- Formal write-up encouraged including an introductory page. (The introductory page simply outlines the story of the display - what is being shown and why.)
- Very brief spoken introduction as to the intended story of the entry is permitted.
- Where welcomed, confidential feedback will be available from more experienced members.
