I will continue to maintain and sponsor this site, as I have for the past few years and welcome any contributions, from members, to these pages
So------ I will try to play 'catch up' very quickly and hope that members will tell me if I have missed anything :-
I am happy to report that the society is nicely settled in its new headquarters, the Grindon Broadway Club, Gregory Road, Grindon - which is on the same estate as the North East National show Hall ( on Grindon Lane, (top, right, on map below). This room has all the advantages of our last venue with none of the disadvantages and is extremely comfortable.
However, it will be considerably more so with the addition of a few new members - or indeed with frequent visits from some of our present members. Budgerigar breeding remains a fascinating and stimulating fancy and in its very nature is an ideal hobby for all livestock lovers, whether they be male or female, young or old, able bodied or dealing with any kind of disability. We would be delighted to welcome anyone who wishes to know more about our hobby . Our members will be delighted to discuss the hobby with all who wish to know more about it.
PLEASE PHONE DAVE HERRING 0191 - 5651415 FOR DETAILS
Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month starting at 7:30 pm. As always, we cordially invite you to join us !
About Us
The Sunderland Budgerigar Society was founded in the late 1940's at a time when the budgerigar fancy was growing. In the intervening time there have been periods of decline in our membership, and the fancy in general, but we hope that following recent problems, the fancy is once again on the way up. We are a small society but there is still around 14 -20 people turn up to every meeting out of a base of thirty or so members who attend regularly. We have plenty of room for more, enthusiastic, members, who will help boost our numbers. The more the merrier!
The budgerigar fancy appeals to a wide range of people, irrespective of ages and gender and Sunderland Budgerigar Society welcomes all fanciers, whatever form their interest takes, be it breeding birds for pets, to exhibit, or merely to keep as a collection of birds - for example, to enhance a back yard or garden.
