Dear «Salutation»,

 

I am writing to you in connection with the philatelic competitions to be held at the Federation's Annual Convention at Girton College, Cambridge on 21st. August 2010.  The convention this year is being hosted by the Cambridge Philatelic Society.

The normal inter-society and individual competitions will be held this year, i.e. 9 sheet inter-society competitions in respect of Stamps of One Country (Traditional), Postal History and Thematic as well as the 16 sheet individual competitions in respect of Aerophilately and the Kings Lynn Jubilee Trophy which this year is for a Traditional (One Country) exhibit.  The junior & youth competitions are individual competitions, enabling each youth competitor to submit up to two entries each. Those aged between under 14 should submit at least 4 and up to 9 sheets and those aged between 14 and 17 years should submit 9 sheets. 

All entries must be notified to me in advance of the competition.  Entry form, "Appendix A", must be completed in respect of each entry and be forwarded to reach me at the address at the foot of this letter by Friday 30th. April 2010.

Entries may be delivered to me personally or sent to me by registered post, but unless these are received by me on or before Saturday 7th. August 2010, they must be handed in to me at the convention before 09.30 and at the very latest 10.00am. Please remember that a completed form "Appendix B" must also accompany each exhibit in order to act as a control record/receipt.

Only one entry per society can be accepted in the inter-society classes and it is for the affiliated society to determine how it will select it's entries for these classes.  The individual classes are for individual members of societies affiliated to the Federation and each member may enter up to two entries in each of the classes in the individual competitions.   The rules of the competition are similar to last year but note the change in the number of sheets in the individual competitions.

All entries should include an introductory statement but it is for the competitor to decide the amount of the first sheet that should be devoted to it.  I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that exhibits that have reached a Silver Award standard or better at National or International level are not eligible to enter the EM&EAPF competitions.

Each entry received will be judged against a medal standard and whilst medals are not awarded a certificate will be issued to each competitor showing the standard that their exhibit reached. 

 

Copies of judges marking sheets can be made available to any competitor who supplies me with a self addressed envelope.  These copies will not be available on the day but will be forwarded to the competitor shortly after the Convention (The marking sheets will not be available at the convention.)

Societies and/or individual competitors who hold trophies from last years competition are asked to return the trophies to me in a clean condition by noon on the day of the Convention.  Would you please ensure that your society complies with this request both in respect of the inter-society Trophies and in respect of the Individual Trophies that any of your members may be holding. According to my records trophies are held by the following societies or their members :-

 

King’s Lynn

Williams Rose Bowl

Millennium Shield

Bedford

Aerophilatelic Federation Shield 2nd.

 

Spalding

Jack Simmonds Aero.

 Trophy

Fenland S.C.

Junior Cup

Hinckley & District

Stitt Dibden Cup

Kay Goodman Trophy

Junior Shield

 

Peterborough

Federation Large Shield

 

 

Grantham

King’s Lynn Jubilee Trophy

 

I would like to take this opportunity to remind competitors that entries will be returned after the close of the convention and competitors may not remove their exhibits from the display frames themselves excepting that they have been approved for that purpose by the organiser prior to the removal process commencing.

Furthermore I would like to wish all competitors every success with their exhibits this year.

                                                                                             Enclosed:    Appendix A form

                                                                                                                                                        Appendix B form

                                                                                                                  Please copy more as required

Yours sincerely,
