1990 Commonwealth Games Issue

Amongst many extraordinary events marking New Zealand's 1990 celebrations, the XIVth Commonwealth Games carries a special charge of excitement.

As world class competitors hone their

performance, the city of Auckland hums with preparations for the Games, to take place from January 24- February 3, 199.0.

To help mark a very special occasion for sports and enthusiasts everywhere, New Zealand Post will release aspecial set ofeight commemorative stamps on November 8, 1989.

These will be special souvenirs for hundreds of competitors and administrators, and for many thousands ofvisitors who will come to Auckland to see sporting history being made.

The stamps will be on sale at all New Zealand Post outlets from November 8, 1989, until March 6, 1990.

When the Games are over, these stamps will take on

that extra significance brought by an association with a fleeting historical event.

All eight stamps bear the official logo ofthe XIVth Commonwealth Games, a circle of blue and red bands, the top and bottom blue bands depicting the sea on either side ofAuckland dty, together with the four stars of the Southern Cross. The logo is depicted by itself on one 40c stamp, and official event mascot "Goldie", the Kiwi, features on another 40c stamp.

Stamp designer Heather Arnold ofAuckland has also 'frozen the action' in sporting scenes depicted on the remaining six stamps: Gymnastics (40c); Weightlifting (SOc); Swimming (65c); Cycling (80c); Bowls ($1.00) and Athletics ($1.80).

All around the world people thrill to the high drama of a close contest and are touched by the courage of an all out performance. Moments of suspense, hope, anguish; these make the treasured memories ofeach Games. We remember our sporting heroes and heroines as much as for these human

qualities of courage, perseverance, and being 'a good sport', as we do for skill or strength.

New Zealand has hosted the Games twice previously since they began in 1930; at Auckland in 1950, and at Christchurch in 1974.

The stamps are horizontal in format and measure 35mm x 30mm. Unless sold out earlier, the stamps will remain on sale at the PhiLuelic Bureau {mail orders) and Philatelic Sales Centres until8 November 1990.

Heather Arnold has also designed a First Day Cover which may be ordered on a special order form available at all New Zealand Post outletS, from October 12 to November 8, 1989. Also, unaddressed First Day Covers may be purchased over the counter from selected New Zealand Post outletS from November 8, 1989 to to March 6, 1990. Alternatively, you can use the enclosed order form to obtain one from the Philatelic Bureau.

anniversary also marks the co-operation between the country's air and postal services as mail is carried by aircraft on both domestic and international routes.

The celebratory stamp shows two planes which span the 50 years ofservice. They are the Short S.30 Empire-class flying boat and a new Boeing of the 747-400 series due to come into service at the end of

The Boeing 747-400 represents the aircraft of today. Flying under the Air New Zealand flag it marks the entry into the second SO years of commercial aviation.

Between 1947 and 1978 National Airways Corporation operated seven typeS of aircraft travelling to 18 domestic destinations, as well as S.25 Sunderland tlymg boats which offered services to Norfolk Island, Fiji, Tonga, Western Samoa and the Cook Islands. Today, Air New Zealand ('see footnote) carries passengers, cargo and mail to 19 cities and towns in New Zealand and to 21 overseas destinations.

At present the company operates four aircraft types and has a fleet of 36 planes.

In addition to the Koru, a stylised version of a symbol common in Maori art, each aircraft carries a Maori name. Since the first flying boat, four other aircraft have been called Aotearoa, (Land of the Long White Cloud), the latest being a Boeing 767 with its

space-age cockpit.

Polynesian voyaging canoes and British sailing ships were at the heart of New Zealand's settlement. Both the Maori and many people of European descent can trace their ancestors back to the visits of the first canoes and sailing ships to New Zealand's shores.

On March 7, New Zealand Post records the importance of those vessels and their place in the country's history1 with the issue of six stamps.
