Big Bird – Mascot of the PYC

Baypex Big Bird Visiting the BAYPEX 2014 Exhibition is Big Bird Kiwi.
The model bird was built for Post ‘X 95 Stamp Exhibition. The Postal History Society then gave the Big Bird to the Philatelic Youth Council for promotion of youth stamp collecting.
The Kiwi was stored at the beginning in Penrose and was taken to many of the youth promotion days organised by the Auckland City Council at Alexander Raceway.
In the beginning he had many homes and during one removal was badly damaged when a roller door fell and knocked him over. With a new steel internal frame and many new layers of paper-mache he was fully restored to be our youth mascot once more.Early in 2005, with the help of the New Zealand National Philatelic Trust a robust lightweight frame and cover was made to safeguard him from any further accidents. He has since been moved very successfully to the South Island, Christchurch in 2006 and 2012 and to many exhibitions in the North Island, Auckland, Whangarei, New Plymouth, Lower Hutt and Palmerston North.
We are well prepared to have as many 40 cent stamps stuck to him as visitors’ desire.

NZ Post is displaying a wide range of World War 1 Postcards, stamps and other memorabilia.

Welcome

Welcome to Bulletin No.2 for Baypex 2014. Planning is well under way and we are on schedule with our most important goals. This Bulletin will bring you up to date with these and other items of interest. Included with this Bulletin is a list of Souvenirs with the theme “Come play in the Bay”. There is a selection of CALs, Covers and Maxi cards. The cost of any you purchase will go towards the funding of the Exhibition.

The exhibition hall

We are pleased to have, as in 2004, managed to secure the best place in the “Bay” to hold this years New Zealand National Stamp Exhibition – the Pettigrew Green Arena.This is a World Class Arena with three basketball courts of floor area, well illuminated. It has a small theatrette to be used for meetings and lectures and a meeting room for jury work.A Subway sandwich bar at the entrance provides casual refreshment. This venue is situated opposite the Eastern Institute for Technology (EIT) in Taradale. Napier is a city with a population of 55,000 and the Arena is approximately 9km from the Napier CBD. There are a range of motels on Kennedy Road, which is on the bus route from the Napier central business district to EIT. Other accommodation can be found from high class hotels through to motels and holiday chalets to the more economic backpackers. Because Napier is not large and traffic flows freely, taxi fares in the city are generally inexpensive. Baypex 2014 arena

Things to do while in Hawkes Bay

“Come play in the Bay” Hawkes Bay is a paradise for the visitor with attractions for all ages and at all paces of life. From Para-gliding and hang-gliding from Te Mata Peak to Splash Planet with aquatic slides. For the more sedate there is the National New Zealand Aquarium, take a tour of the now world famous Hawkes Bay vineyards or take a walk with the Art Deco guides through the streets of Napier with it’s unique collection of Art Deco buildings. Hastings favouring the different but unique and colourful Spanish Mission style. A trip out to see the Gannet Colony at Cape Kidnappers is a must and the beach tractor of Gannet Beach Adventures will give you an unforgettable experience. Hire a bike and experience the many cycle trails around the city and surrounds. In the evening, the list of eating places is endless. Numerous wineries have the most excellent of restaurants. Other establishments have dishes from all over the world. Italian, Thai, Chinese and Indian cuisines are available to name a few, or one can sit in style for lunch or dinner at waterfront restaurants in Ahuriri’s inner harbour and watch the bustle on the wharf around the fishing fleet. Whatever activity you decide on outside the Exhibition we can assure you, everywhere you go, you will receive a great Hawkes Bay welcome!

Australasian Challenge

This New Zealand National Exhibition incorporates the Australasian Challenge, a team competition between exhibitors from each Australian State and ACT and the North and South Islands of New Zealand – a total of nine teams. The Challenge is held every two years and this is the second time it has been held in New Zealand. The current holder of the Challenge is New South Wales. So expect to see the top Australian exhibits at BAYPEX.

Don’t miss this chance to see Hawkes Bay

It is a great place to holiday as well as looking at stamps and postcards. In Napier there is the National Aquarium on the Marine Parade and the Hawkes Bay Museum; in Hastings there is “Splash Planet” for more than just a swim. There are many wineries in the area. Napier and Hastings have world class Art Deco and Spanish Mission architecture – tours to see these are available or just wander around the city centres. A visit to the Gannet Colony along the beach on a tractor drawn trailer is an exciting experience and a must do! As a holiday destination, accommodation is plentiful with a full range of excellent motels and hotels. There are frequent flights to the Bay from Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch. The area is also served by regular coach services from all North Island main centres.

Keeping in touch

It is planned to issue a number of Newsletters. These will provide more information on the venue, accommodation, updates on planned activities and information on products that will be available.
