YPA NOTICE BOARD

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO AFFILIATED SOCIETIES

To reduce escalating postage costs the YPA has decided to send via email communications to affiliated societies previously sent by post. Communications will normally be with the Secretary and/or the Society's YPA Representative for cascading down to those members in the Society who need to know.
Copies of the YPA News will similarly be sent via email for copying and distribution to members.
Affiliated societies who have not made arrangements with the YPA Secretary to receive future communications via email should contact him to do so. Societies and individuals unable to receive communications via email will continue to receive them through the post.
The YPA apologies for any inconvenience this causes but hopes societies will appreciate that this is necessary to reduce the YPA deficit on operating costs and ensure its continuing financial viability.

NOTICE FROM THE YORKSHIRE POSTAL HISTORY SOCIETY

The Yorkshire Postal History Society is updating the listing of The Temporary Handstamps of Yorkshire by William A Sedgewick. Since publication in April 1988 there have been several new discoveries and we expect to find more in the collections of postal historians who may not belong to the Society. We are seeking collectors who may be able to provide information about new types or earlier or later dates of use. You may have only one or two such marks, but they may provide important new information for our updated book. If you can help please contact Ken Brown, telephone (UK) 01937 573180. Acknowledgement in the updated listing will be given to all collectors providing new information.
While you are here why not vist our web page at http://www.y-p-a.org.uk/yphs.html and see details of our meetings and some of our other publications.

About the Yorkshire Philatelic Association

The Yorkshire Philatelic Association (YPA) was founded in 1947 in Leeds. Initially there were ten societies, but the Association has grown over the years to its present twenty-one affiliated member societies.
The YPA aims to provide a variety of benefits for all philatelists in the area, create links between societies and form an effective bridge between philately at local and national levels.
Affiliated societies are represented by their nominated delegates. Together with the elected officers of the Association they form the Management Committee which meets twice a year to organise and run the YPA and provide a forum for discussion on matters of common interest to all philatelists in the YPA area.

The Annual Convention

The YPA Annual Convention is usually hosted by one of the affiliated societies, or the YPA if no society is able to host the event. The Convention includes, the YPA Competition entries, dealers, the YPA Annual General Meeting, a ceremony for newly elected Yorkshire Distinguished Philatelists to sign the Roll, and may include an exhibition.
