Northern Beaches Stamp Expo 2006 From Ed Wolf, Exhibition Secretary
Northern Beaches Stamp Expo 2006 a state level one frame exhibition attracted seven teams and one single entry which comprised the inaugural Inter-Country Team One-Frame Competition held on the weekend of 9 & 10 September, 2006.
The attempt to provide a venue for country clubs to competitively exhibit, entries from the stamp clubs of Toronto, Twin Towns and Wyong & District Philatelic Society to join their metropolitan cousins of Smithfield, Willoughby and Castle Hill with the Society of Polar Philatelists adding extra interest.
The declared winners were the Toronto Club scoring 301 points, with the runners up being the Society of Polar Philatelists. All entrants were the "real" winners as they demonstrated how wide the field of philately really is to an appreciative audience of some 200 members of the public.
The six dealers in attendance along with a number of stamp clubs with their exchange circuit books reported a satisfactory trading session.
The people's choice was won by Andrew Verdich with his entry of Antarctic Penguins. The exhibition champion exhibit was John Pugsley's Social review of the Boer War 1899-1902.
The organisers, Manly Warringah P.S. and the Manly Leagues Club Stamp Club wish to place on record the cooperation they received from Australia Post's Chris Roach, who provided the majority of the prizes awarded.
The Judging team of nine was chaired by David Collyer and produced their results by one pm on the Saturday with the critique at the frames after a solid session of judging on Friday night and early Saturday.
