Constitution

1. Title.

The Federation shall be known as “The East Midlands & East Anglian Philatelic Federation”,

2. The Aims & Objects of the Federation shall be:

a.    To promote the study of Philately - in its widest sense - in the area covered by the Federation and the study of local Postal History in particular.

b.    To promote the idea that Philately embraces the spirit of good fellowship as well as the study of stamps and postal history.

c.    To provide a means whereby lone collectors in the area can be put in touch with the nearest philatelic society and other collectors.

d.    To encourage inter-society visits and displays.

e.    To provide a panel of speakers willing to visit other societies in the Federation and to assist the smaller societies which might otherwise be unable to complete their programmes.

f.    To provide a panel of judges for competitions organised by member societies and to encourage individuals to seek qualifications as judges at Federation and National levels.

g.    To hold an Annual Convention during the spring of each year (or exceptionally, as the Committee may decide) and to hold competitions, publishing rules for these competitions, promoting high standards of displays, so that individual success may be seen as a stepping stone to eventual success in national competitions.

h.    To encourage and assist in the formation of new societies within the Federation area and to provide back-up and guidance to such during their formative years.

i.    To try to provide an Exchange Packet to circulate through member societies.

j.     To produce a Federation publication for circulation by booklet or internet within the Federation and generally to encourage literary effort.
