2004 Winner


Penny Wells

Penny Wells has been a very active member of the philatelic fraternity over many years.

From 1982 she has been on the Philatelic Society of Western Australia committee which included positions of Vice President and President from 1985 to 1989. She is now Vice President again from 2003.

Penny has been a committee member of the Stirling Philatelic Society for the past 8 years. An asset in these areas has been never hesitating to do the basic chores at club meetings.

Assistance with juniors has continued over the years.

Her other activities have extended to four National Stamp Exhibition committees when held in Perth.

On the exhibiting scene, Penny has displayed two major collections of New Zealand achieving high medal levels at State, National, and International shows. Two years ago, she achieved the position of a State judge.

Operating as Hyde Park Stamps, Penny has been able to support collectors with many items for their collections at various Stamp Fairs. In summary, Penny has provided outstanding service to philately in this State continuously for 25 years.

I have great pleasure in presenting her with the E. M. Hasluck Medal for 2004
