Maurice Shorten Victoria Falls a World Heritage
This entry (Victoria Falls) arose from a member's personal interest in the Falls. In particular their size, location, the region and how they were formed. What started as an interest turned into a collection that has been entered into Club Thematic Competitions (Seaford and Eastbourne), the ASPS Autumn Individual Entry Competition and finally within the National Philatelic Society Christmas Competitions.
Results to date:
(Original collection)
Eastbourne and South Downs Philatelic Society - Open Challenge (2004): 3rd Place
ASPS Inter-Society (Joint entry) - Thematic Competition (2004): Not placed
(After further development)
National Philatelic Society - Thematic (2004): Win + Trophy
Seaford and District Stamp Club - Thematic (2005): Win
ASPS Open Class (2005): Win + Trophy
Hopefully this collection shows how a relatively simple subject can lead to an interesting collection of stamps and related ephemera which has proved to be a pleasure to create, has been enjoyed by others and has brought reward to its owner. This short collection is currently being developed and has 'sparked' off another small collection which will be entered into future competitions. Watch this space!!
