Federation and with support from the Central Districts Philatelic Trust and the
New Zealand Philatelic Trust Inc

The judging team, Robin Gwynn FRPSL FRPSNZ, Jenny
Banfield, David Smitham, Jeff Long FRPSNZ (apprentice), thanks the Trustees of
the Central Districts Philatelic Trust for organising this exhibition, and Jenny
and Norman Banfield for providing excellent facilities for judging. We
particularly thank all exhibitors, whose research and willingness to make their
knowledge accessible to their fellow philatelists, makes such exhibitions
possible. Entries
in this National exhibition were judged in accordance with the New Zealand
Philatelic Federation requirements. Entry 59 was adjudged hors concours
because it fell outside the scope of the exhibition, not being primarily in
English. Robin Gwynn took no part in judging entries 13, 48 and 53, and David
Smitham took no part in judging entries 27 and 43. The
field of entries was very strong. Medals awarded ranged between bronze and
large gold. The Grand Award was awarded to entry 19, The Half-Lengths of
Victoria: the stamps and postal history 1850-59, and the Runner-up was
entry 25, Letter Mail from and to the Old Italian States. Both books
cover important fields of philately in new depth, and are beautifully produced.
The award for Best Periodical went to entry 44, The Collectors Club
Philatelist; its articles in 2008 included challenging work on the GB 1d
red plate 77, and important general articles on subjects such as ‘Interpreting
On-Cover Survival Rates’ and new analytical ways of examining printings of
early stamps. We
considered felicitations only with regard to works applying to New Zealand and
Pacific Territories, since research work in other fields is better rewarded in
their home countries. We award them with pleasure to entry 41 by Stanley J.
Kundin, The Vending and Affixing Machine Coils of New Zealand. Two books the Jury particularly enjoyed
were entries 15 and 31, where the authors’ skills in imparting their enthusiasm
were especially evident. A special prize was awarded to 31, The Pony
Express, a postal history. It
was sad indeed to hear of the very recent death of Charlie Peterson RDP. He was
a delightful man with immense breadth of philatelic knowledge, and an
outstanding judge of literature which was his particular and abiding philatelic
interest. He strongly encouraged
the series of literature exhibitions the Central Districts Philatelic Trust has
held biennially since 1987, and wrote in support of them in The Philatelic Communicator. The present exhibition includes a strong
showing of American entries, and they are of very high quality. It may be that
both their number and their quality is in part, due to seeds Charlie sowed
years ago. He will be sorely missed. Finally,
the organisers would like to thank the Manawatu Philatelic Society for donating
the Grand Award, the Palmerston North Stamp Centre, (Bruce Graves
owner/manager) for donating the prize for Runner-Up to the Grand Award and the
Royal Philatelic Society New Zealand, for donating the prize for the Best
Periodical. List
