| Swanpex 2002 |
Swanpex 2002 was held on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2002 at the University of Western Australia, Nedlands. The exhibition had competitive classes in National One Frame as well as State and Club classes. The judges for the One Frame Class were Raymond Todd, Geoff Kellow and John Dibiase with Raymond Todd as Chairman overall.
Overall both days were well attended with the interstate, overseas and local dealers making a total of 16. Tony Shields, Pittwater Stamps and Edlins of Canberra were the interstate dealers with Bill Leggett from New Zealand making up the quartet. The atmosphere was very relaxed on the campus of the University and the presentation dinner also at the UWA was a great success with over 40 people in attendance. The assistance provided was excellent by all the Committee and others on the days to help set up and take down.
