It is with regret that we need to advise the passing of Sue Claridge, one of our Life members.
When it comes to organised philately, the list of what Sue has been involved with is monumental and the shorter list would actually be what she hasn’t done. That short list probably includes not spending enough time on her own collections. A brief selection starting with the CPS where she has had a long involvement on the Committee including holding roles as President and Secretary amongst others. She was also a philatelic judge and Commissioner serving at many NZ and overseas exhibitions, helped run the Christchurch youth club and hosted Stamp Camps here in Canterbury, and held the post of Secretary with CANPEX, the Christchurch based exhibition organising group.
Sue had only recently retired from full time work at St George Hospital where she was a theatre nurse.
