THE YPA HANDBOOK
The YPA has produced a handbook giving full details of the Association's activities, contacts,
the Association's Rules and the Competition Rules, and lists of speakers and judges. The
Handbook also gives information about the history of the YPA, previous Conventions and
competition winners and full details of all affiliated societies. Copies are held by each
society's YPA delegate and are available for reference by all members of affiliated societies.
REGISTER OF SPEAKERS
WILLING TO GIVE DISPLAYS
The YPA Handbook gives a full listing of speakers willing to give displays. However, it was last
updated and published in 2006 and some of the details are now out of date.
A list of speakers in the Yorkshire Area updating the information given in the YPA Handbook is
shown on this site. It includes additional displays and speakers not included in the YPA
Handbook. Syllabus secretaries looking for suitable speakers can refer to both the listing on
this site and the listing in the Handbook. Speakers not shown in either of the
listings who would like to be included, or those included who wish to update their details
should send full details to the
Editor
for publication in the YPA Newsletter and the
Webmaster
for inclusion on this site. The listings available on this web site can be accessed at:
Listing of Speakers Alphabetically A to M
Listing of Speakers Alphabetically N to Z
The ABPS publication Philatelic Lecturers and Displays List 2011
gives a national listing of speakers but does not include many of the speakers
shown in the YPA Handbook or the updates on this web site.
The YPA offers the following guidance in approaching and entertaining speakers:
Give prospective speakers a choice of dates and give them plenty of advance notice.
Offer expenses, and for speakers travelling a long distance, overnight accommodation if required.
Provide details of venue, timing, number of sheets to be displayed and a location map.
At the meeting restrict society business to the minimum out of deference to the speaker.
Provide speakers with a Certificate of Appreciation as a memento
of their visit.
REGISTER OF JUDGES
Refer to the YPA Handbook for a listing of members of affiliated societies willing to
judge competitions at society and federation level.
ROLL OF DISTINGUISHED
YORKSHIRE PHILATELISTS
Since 1976 the YPA has been honouring philatelists that have made an important contribution
to philately in the YPA area by recording their names on the
Roll of Distinguished Yorkshire Philatelists.
Societies wishing to propose a candidate for election to the Roll should consult the Handbook for the
criteria and format for a submission. The closing date for a submission is the 31 December each year.
AFFILIATIONS
The YPA is affiliated to the
Association of British Philatelic Societies and provides
an important link between philately at local and national levels.
Individual affiliated societies can also become members of the ABPS and secure advantages for their
members.
