Synopsis Pages

Ted Lockyear

The Philatelic Exhibitor, Vol. 11, Nr. 1, January 1997

pdf - 4k

I refer to the synopsis article that was published several months ago. (The Philatelic Exhibitor, No. 4/96 14-15) Based upon my attendance at five critiques, I have several observations:

(1) The Judges have studied the exhibits.

(2) It is very, very constructive to hear what the Judges have to say about the exhibits of others.

(3) The Judges have done their homework.

(4) The synopsis, or lack thereof, has a great deal of influence on the Judges' decision.

(5) Above all, if people are to improve their exhibit, they should join our organization as well as personally attend any critique.

My purpose in writing you, however, is to suggest that the organization could do a great service to its members and/or exhibitors as well as Judges by repeating the above mentioned article and distributing same at shows across the country. It is a wonderful outline that would be of benefit to any exhibitor. I for one have substantially changed my synopsis since the beginning, in part because of the attendance at the critiques, and in part because of the article.
