The Budgerigar Society - BS Club Show 2010
When the Club Show was moved to September in 2007 for a trial period, it was decided that the date of the show in 2010 would be decided following the 2008 event when a questionnaire would be available at that show. Sadly, considering the numbers that attended the show, only a very small percentage of those attending filled in the questionnaire which indicated a preference for a change to a November date.
The Club Show Committee has been aware that, for some time now, many members have not entered their birds because they considered the show was too long, (birds having to be at the show from Friday through to Sunday) and it also costs so much to stay in Doncaster for two nights.
With these thoughts in mind, (the time birds are away from home and accommodation costs), the committee, after a very long discussion decided to recommend to the General Council that:
The show remain in September for a further two years trial period and exhibitors be allowed to bench their birds on Saturday morning as well as on Friday, then a further review will take place following the 2010 show.
At the General Council meeting on Saturday 15th November, the Council discussed the date of the show and agreed to support the recommendation of the Club Show Committee.
