When the Society's Chairman, Howard Lunn, died in 1999 the Society decided to institute an award for the best article, each year, in his memory. At the 2018 AGM the meeting decided that the award would go to the Best Author of the year. The article(s) must have been published in the quarterly journal of the society, the Postal Order News. The winner holds the trophy for one year and also receives an award. Each year the winner is announced at the October AGM..
