The Federation organises and runs several competitions
each year.
It is extremely important
that the committee make it VERY CLEAR that it is the responsibility of
exhibitors
to arrange their own insurance cover, before putting exhibits into competitions.

RULES FOR THE INTER SOCIETY COMPETITION
This competition has been
introduced to enable each member to reach a half way stage in an entry for the
Inter Federation Competitions, which are held every two years. These competitions are run by the ABPS, of
which the North Western Federation is a member. The next competition is to be held in Torquay in 2006.
The object is to enable
three individual and separate members from any Society / Club to select a
discipline from a given list (see below) and make up an entry of 16 sheets,
which is one frame.
No one person may enter
more than one sixteen-sheet entry per competition. That entry may not be re-entered for a period of three years in
this competition. It may however be
entered in any of the disciplines in the individual competitions in the
following year. At the time of writing,
the list of disciplines will vary for each of the bi-annual competitions, which
are held in the Provinces. However, the
North Western Federation will accept any of the eight disciplines.
Should an entrant belong to
more than one Society / Club then entries can be submitted from each
Society. Each entry will have an
introductory page, and on the reverse of the title page the name of the
competitor will be listed along with the name of the Society. The entries, although submitted by
individuals, will become, for the purpose of this competition, the entry of
that Club / Society.
This years disciplines are
to be selected from the following: Traditional Philately, Postal History, Aero
philately, Postal Stationery, Social Philately, Revenue, Cinderella and Thematic.
The marking scheme for
entries will be as follows:
Philatelic knowledge and
personal study 35
Treatment, originality and
importance 30
Relative condition and
rarity 20
Presentation, write up and
arrangement 15
Total 100
Thematic entries will be
marked in accordance with the relevant marking scheme for that discipline.
Medals will not be awarded
for this particular competition. Each
participating exhibitor will receive a certificate.
These rules are provisional
and will be altered as required.
