THE SHOW ITSELF will be held on Sunday 20th July, at the Brinkburn Community Centre, Harton Lane, South Shields.

2007 SHOW REPORT

      What had started off as something of a disappointment , rapidly developed into more of an appreciable success as the 2007 North East national Show unfolded. Staged by the budgerigar societies of South Shields and Sunderland, the show officials had been looking forward to an increase in entries over the 2006 event – all the signs appeared to suggest such a happy outcome : but it was not to be,

In the event, a total entry of 522 birds was received, representing a decrease of something over 100.

      The show was held in the Brinkburn Community Centre, a smaller hall than that used, at the same site, by the show over the previous two years, but was still sufficiently large to accommodate this more modest entry, particularly as it had the benefit of an adjacent kitchen/restaurant which proved an ideal meeting place for fanciers who wished to feed body, mind and spirit eating in harmony with fellow fanciers.

Meals were provided for all stewards, as well as the judges, and the restaurant remained available serving wholesome food for the duration of the show. The members of both societies are very grateful to the ladies who provided such a excellent service.

       Additionally, the show could not possibly have run so smoothly had it not for the help received from friends from other societies, who rallied around and formed a hard working team of stewards. It was particularly pleasing to note so many ladies among the fanciers providing such support. Our grateful thanks to them for showing us how we should express our enthusiasm for the fancy!

        Happily, the show also had the consolation of there being a good benched entry, which included a very good standard of exhibit.

 The judges were  A Brown, M Ballard, J S Cooke and R Steele, who completed their task timeously and efficiently, so that the show was able to open to the public promptly

They selected a fine Cinnamon Grey Cock staged by the newly formed partnership of French & Ratcliffe, as Best in Show. 

  Best Young Bird in Show was won by Don Rowell’s Normal Grey Cock and the same fancier, who had a field day particularly in the Champion Young Bird Section, also annexed the award of Best Opposite Sex Young Bird with a much-admired Greygreen Hen

           The popular partnership of Ray and Anne Graham took the award of Best Opposite Sex Any Age with their Cinnamon Greygreen Hen.

           The main Junior specials were shared by Charlotte Forrest and Kate French
