The Thematic Association of NZ held a successful seminar/workshop for exhibitors of Thematic and Open class material in Hamilton 23-25 May.

The 24 attendees were kept busy from 8 pm on Friday evening until 3 pm on Sunday. They actively participated in questions, answers and discussions arising from presentations by a number of philatelic judges and during small team workshop sessions. The workshops involved looking at individuals’ exhibits or work-in-progress and providing constructive comment and ideas for possible change based on experience and the information provided earlier.

These sessions were supported by a wide range of exhibits and material from attendees and others who had generously provided their material for this purpose.
