Birthe King presents the Certificate to Jens Sørensen and Hans Urbak from the Highschool’s Executive Committee – Hans Urbak is one of the founder members.

SILFI was a Danish national exhibition arranged by the local Silkeborg Frimærkeklub, and it took place in the new Arena Midt sports hall in nearby Kjellerup. There were 76 competitive exhibits covering Youth Philately, Open Philately, Postcards, Traditional Philately, Postal History, Thematic Philately, Postal Stationery, Airmail, and Literature, nine non-competitive exhibits, and four invited exhibits. The 20 stands comprised dealers, post offices, and philatelic organisations. A very lively and enjoyable exhibition.
It had been agreed that it would be appropriate to present the FEPA Certificate of Appreciation 2014 to Djurslands Filatelistiske Højskole immediately before the awards ceremony, and to great applause the Certificate was handed to Jens Sørensen and Hans Urbak from the Executive Committee.
This award was given for outstanding activities for the promotion of philately and to develop philately according to future needs and current trends among Danish philatelists. The philatelic Highschool was founded in 1986, and since then every winter eight seminars with very varied topics have been arranged with speakers from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and a couple from the United Kingdom. Hans Urbak, one of the original founding members, thanked FEPA and encouraged everyone to come to the new season’s programme. The High school is supported by Danmarks Filatelist Forbund, the Danish Philatelic Federation.

It is my very sad responsibility to have to tell you that Francis Kiddle died this morning. Francis was diagnosed with lung cancer just over two months ago, and he spent three weeks in hospital with pneumonia. He came home just over a week ago died surrounded by his family.
Francis was so important to international philately for many decades, he was a tireless worker, and a trusted and loved friend and mentor to so many of us. He was a great supporter of FEPA and an informed and knowledgeable juror and delegate to Congresses.

Over 35 national and international jurors from 15 FEPA countries gathered in Budapest on 16 October for a three-day FEPA seminar on judging techniques organised by Mr. Denes CZIROK under the auspices of the Hungarian Philatelic Federation (MABEOSZ).
The focus was on ONE-FRAME exhibits in the traditional, thematic and postal history classes. In each area the discussion was introduced by a leading international judge –Wolf HESS RDP for traditional and thematic and Kurt KIMMEL RDP for postal history. Each gave a presentation exploring the issues raised in creating and judging One Frame exhibits in their class.
This was followed by practical judging work on 34 exhibits brought by the participants which ranged widely across many fields. The exhibits were analysed and evaluated by seven teams using the experimental One-Frame Guidelines published on the FIP homepage.
The seminar concluded with a visit to the Stamp Museum in Budapest, a wonderful facility that has been built up over 90 years which contains extensive collections of stamps from all countries around the world and has an especially important collection of Hungarian philatelic material.
