Newsletter

A quarterly 16 page newsletter Philatelic Judges Forum has been published since March 1999 to keep members informed about judging matters within New Zealand and internationally and also to provide a forum for discussion.

Judging Workshops

One of the main purposes of the Association is in the area of judging education. At regular intervals the Association plans running judging workshops. These are seen as an essential means by which judges can maintain their skills and knowledge. At the same time the workshops will not be exclusively for judges. Exhibitors, who wish to understand more of the judging process, will also be welcome.

Membership

Membership is open to all judges and apprentices approved by NZPF (full membership) and to others interested - both individuals and societies (associate members). Please contact the Secretary.
