The 1957 10th Anniversary Federation Day Rally.

    THE KENT FEDERATION

          In November, 1946, the formation of a County Federation for the Kent Philatelic Societies was under consideration, and a preliminary meeting was held at Maidstone to which representatives from several Kent organisations were invited. As a result, it was decided to proceed with the idea, the Maidstone Society undertaking to do all the preliminary arrangements.
          On 12th April, 1947, a meeting was convened at Maidstone where the Federation became an accomplished fact with 14 societies deciding to join and the Constitution and Rules passed.
          An annual Convention, called “Kent Federation Day” has been held ever since, taking place at Folkestone, Ramsgate, Tunbridge Wells, Whitstable, Rochester, Canterbury, Sidcup and Maidstone. Special Rallies have also been held at Ashford, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks.
          A Challenge Cup presented by Mr. Grant is keenly completed for annually between Societies, and has so far been won by Isle of Thanet, and Gravesend (twice each), Whitstable and Cinque Ports.
           The Federation has a list of speakers willing to visit the Societies and has done much useful work in bringing the Kent Societies closer together. There have been three hon. Secretaries : R. G. Clark (Maidstone) 1947-50, T. H. J. Slocombe (Whitstable) 1950-53 and V. A. Daniels (Medway Towns) since 1953.


           There are now 20 Societies affiliated to the Federation, all doing well. Interchange of visits are held and the Federation is managed by a Council consisting of the usual Officers with one representative from each affiliated Society, and the Past Presidents if they wish to attend.
          The Presidents have been : B. S. H. Grant (Maidstone) 1947-49, L. R. Ray (Bromley and Beckenham) 1949-50, F. Tomlinson (Whitstable) 1950-51, D. R. Bull (Medway Towns) 1951-52, Col. H. R. Sheppard, O.B.E. (Canterbury) 1952-53, W. S. Tinsley (Cinque Ports) 1953-54, H. C. Hayward (Isle of Thanet) 1954-55, J. C. Cartwright (Tunbridge Wells) 1955-56, A. E. Newstead (Sidcup) 1956-57 and R. A. G. Potter (Maidstone) 1957-58.
           The affiliated Societies comprise : Ashford, Bromley and Beckenham, Canterbury, Cinque Ports, Dartford, Deal, Dover, Dover Customs, Gravesend, Herne Bay, Isle of Thanet, Maidstone and Mid Kent, Medway Towns, New Eltham, Sevenoaks, Sidcup, Sittingbourne, Tunbridge Wells, Whitstable and Woolwich.
          Three prominent Kent Federation members are on the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists: Dr. Gordon Ward (Sevenoaks), J. C. Cartwright (Tunbridge Wells), and B. S. H. Grant (Maidstone).

THE K.F.P.S. 2007 SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EVENT:


THE K.F.P.S. 60th ANNIVERSARY LUNCH - 1947-2007.
THE RUSSELL HOTEL, MAIDSTONE, KENT.
Saturday 3rd November 2007.

The attendance at this special lunch to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Kent Federation of Philatelic Societies was 43, representing 18 of the 22 affiliated clubs.

The food and company were excellent.

We were very pleased to see David Parnall, a Past K.F.P.S. President (1963-1964) at the lunch, who donated the Parnall Thematic Trophy to the K.F.P.S. many years ago. 

John Crowe from the Sevenoaks Philatelic Society won the £50 gift voucher prize in the raffle (We understand from John that Mrs. Crowe has already spent the £50 for him). Toasts were proposed by Roger Stone, Ian Nutley and Tony Bosworth (All Past Presidents of the K.F.P.S.), with brief speeches from R. Burn (K.F.P.S. Chairman), and Colin Tobitt (2007-2008 K.F.P.S. President).
