ADPS cheque presentation to National Youth Committee. On 16th April 2005 the East Midlands Federation Convention was held at Wisbech where 2005 ADPS Chairman Richard French presented a cheque on the behalf of the ADPS to Ann Drummer, Press Officer for the National Youth Committee.

Encouraging young collectors

The ADPS Trophy which for the past three years has been awarded annually by the National Youth Committee to the first time entry showing most promise in Youth Group Competitions.
The trophy was first presented to the Melville Youth Committee and awarded in 1993 after entries were displayed in the Royal Horticultural Hall in London.
Strangely, the trophy was 'lost' after the 1998 awards and was not found until several years later when, following enquiries as to its whereabouts by Richard French, it was discovered to be languishing in a cupboard in the Charterhouse Street headquarters of the Association of GB Philatelic Societies.

The original idea for the cup and award came from Mr. Arnold Berman, who was ADPS Chairman 1989-1995, and the then committee member Brian Downham. The cup itself is vintage silver circa 1920 with a Chester hallmark, standing 15 inches high and weighing in at 16 ounces. Inscriptions and polishing of the silver cup and fitting of the hardwood base was completed by Richard French, our 2005 Chairman. Shields with the annual winners' names are affixed to the polished hardwood base.
