2000 Winner

Robert Radley

Bob Radley's major contribution to philately in Western Australia has been an extensive involvement in philatelic administration.

 At club level, he has been a member of the committee of Canning Stamp Club for the past 15 years, and President since 1994. He was awarded Honorary Life Membership of that club in 1999. He has also been a committee member of the Philatelic Society of Western Australia since 1987, and Vice-President for the past 4 years.

 Bob's involvement at State level commenced in 1986 when he joined the Executive Committee of the Western Australian Philatelic Council. He became Vice-President in 1996, and President in 1999. He held the important position of Exhibition Chairman for SWANPEX in 1995 and 1996, and was on the organizing committee in 1998. He is a State delegate to the Australian Philatelic Federation.

Bob has exhibited at State, National and International levels variously, since 1983. Over the years he has provided articles for a variety of journals and has been guest speaker at numerous club meetings. He has judged many club competitions and was appointed a State judge in 1995.

Bob has actively promoted the hobby whenever an opportunity presented itself. Most importantly, he has always been willing to undertake humble tasks such as manning the Information Table at numerous Stamp Fairs and State Exhibitions. I have much pleasure in presenting the E.M.Hasluck Medal for 2000.
