Kevin has been a keen member of Newcastle Philatelic Society for 29 years, having joined the Society on February 13, 1969.  His initiation to the Committee was dramatic; he took over the position of Secretary in September 1973, and continued in that position through the next year, 1974, and took on both the Secretary and Treasurer's positions in 1975/6.  President in 1986.  Kevin was a member of the Norpex 87, 91, 94, 97 and 2003 Exhibition Committees.  He jointly operated all the exhibitions "bin rooms" assisted by his wife Marie.

Truly a stalwart of the Society, his service was recognised in 1984 by the awarding of Honorary Membership.  He was awarded Life Membership of Newcastle Philatelic Society on May 13, 1993.

In 1992 he accepted the position of "Santa Card Project Officer" with the Australian Philatelic Federation.  The national project contributed four figure amounts each year to various children's charity organisations in the Hunter Region as well as similar amounts to the Australian Philatelic Federation.  He continued with this project over some eleven years, both in the organisation of the design and advertising of each year's card, the production of the cards, the handling of mail orders and their distribution; the latter requiring close involvement with Australia Post for the design and use of the post marker.  The preparation of the cards and their distribution was very time consuming as the address and salutation hand on each card was written.  Quantities of mail orders being postmarked and despatched on most working days of the period of availability of the postmarker.
