Stamp Active Competition 2008  -  Results.

The Stamp Active Competition for 2008 attracted a wide range of entries from young stamp collectors aged up to 16. The standard was as high as ever, leading one of the judges to comment that many of the entries were better than those from collectors many years older. The judges were Derek Armitage, Brian Asquith, Brian Sole and Jean Wood.

The entries will be on display at the ABPS stamp exhibition being held at the Harrogate International Centre on Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3.
