Tony Steer has made an exceptional contribution at National and Australian-based International Exhibitions as a floor manager. This has involved the erection, dismantling of frames and all aspects of floor management. Tony first assumed the role at the Canberra Stamp Show 94, and subsequently at part or full national shows in 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002. Tony had a key role in AUSTRALIA 99, not only as floor manager, but also in the extensive planning and training that preceded this FIP exhibition. Again, at OLYMPHILEX 2002 Tony skills and dedication were visible, on that occasion he masterminded two separate venues, Centrepoint Tower in Sydney and the Mint in Canberra.
Tony's contribution to National and International Exhibitions over the last decade has been both unique and outstanding.
Mike's obvious enthusiasm and success in this area, led to his involvement as the APF Philatelic Development Officer for several
years, and being in constant demand to run junior workshops at National Exhibitions and at AUSTRALIA 99.
He developed several very popular philatelic games, and served as editor of the APF's Young Collector magazine
