Club activities and services

Newsletter

From February to December the Society produces a monthly newsletter.

Bruce Marshall Plate – Hawkes Bay Competition

We have a competition in the Hawkes Bay. It is a Dalton plate donated by Faith Marshall wife of the late Bruce Marshall who won the plate at some stage.
The plate is now encased in a sturdy wooden frame with a suitable plaque. It is contested by the Hawkes Bay Philatelic Society and the Hastings Stamp Collectors Club on an annual basis each July.

Baker Cup

A society four-page competition held once a year on any topic up to four pages.
