1999 Winner

Graham Berry

Graham Berry's major contributions to philately in Western Australia have been his extensive involvement in philatelic administration and his 'down to earth' approach to the hobby.

At the club level, he has been a Committee Member of the Stirling Philatelic Society since 1980 and was President from 1985 to 1991.

Graham's involvement at the State level commenced in 1985 when he joined the Executive Committee of the Western Australian Philatelic Council. He became Vice-President in 1990 and was President from 1992 to 1995. For the past four years he has been Treasurer and is currently a member of the Junior Development Committee. He has represented the Council, and Western Australia, at several Annual General Meetings of the Australian Philatelic Federation.

Graham recognises that the hobby has great benefits for the community at large and he has actively promoted it at numerous public Exhibitions and Stamp Fairs.

Equally importantly, Graham has been actively involved in the maintenance of Display Frames and other property of the W.A.P.C. over many years and has always been ready to lend a hand with all sorts of jobs.

I have much pleasure in presenting the 1999 'E.M.Hasluck Medal' to Graham Berry.
