2010
Winner
Bernard Buckland
THE E.M. HASLUCK MEDAL FOR 2010 HAS BEEN AWARDED TO BERNARD BUCKLAND
The
citation reads:
Bernard
Buckland commenced his involvement in the hobby of stamp collecting
when he formed the Northampton Stamp Club in the early 1980s and also
became a long-standing member of the Philatelic Society of Western
Australia.
After
moving to Perth in the late 1990s he joined the Philatelic Society
of Rockingham and Kwinana where he served two terms as President and
was editor of the society’s magazine “The Ship Letter” for several
years. He has won several club trophies and state awards and been active
in the Rockingham area promoting the hobby.
As
a member of the Western Australian Philatelic Council for several years,
Bernard has assisted in the revision of its Constitution and at present
is the Public Relations Officer.
A
great asset is his promotion of the hobby to the public by radio, displays
at various locations, and travelling to country centres which has resulted
in clubs being formed at Busselton, Eaton, and Bridgetown with more
on the list in the south-west.
Bernard’s
ability to meet people and attract them to the hobby outside the club
scene has resulted in greater interest throughout Western Australia.
I
now have much pleasure in presenting him with the Hasluck Medal for
2010.
