What's next at our new Meeting Room !!
We have already had the pleasure of hearing speakers at our last two meetings in the new Headquarters (see below for details of the rooms and the Meetings Reports page for a report of those meetings).
(CORRECTION to previous notice)
On 30th July, the day after our Open Show, the North East National show we have as speaker a former member and general Secretary of Sunderland BS J M (Mick) Cooke.
We also look
forward to the visit of Les Chadwick and his showing partner, NBS President

meeting takes place on Monday 27th August, not 30th
July as previously announced the day
We also, of course, hope that as many members as possible will visit the show and that those of our members who are exhibitors will enter as many birds as possible.
We are always short of stewards, so please help, for the duration of the show, if you can.

Now, back to the Sunderland BS meeting. Access is via the main gates on the North (river) side and by following the path around the church - the pictures below show the route and appearance.
Below are images of the external appearance of the church , and showing the approach to the meeting rooms and the rooms themselves. Note the catering facilities and the additional small hall which will be available for our hiring, if required.
We have already been made to feel most welcome by the secretary and the caretaker !!
Please note that there is a One-Way road system around the church and other buildings. Parking is either in the street (cul-de-sac) outside the main gates or nearby streets . There is also a good bus service to this area.
SUNDERLAND BS PUBLICITY
Some of our members have already, no doubt, had sight of the excellent local community newspaper/magazine "Eastwise", of which I heard only a few months ago. Noticing the content, I contacted the editors of this publication and they agreed to accept an article and pictures from me about our society.
The article appeared in the September special edition of the paper. I print below a photograph of the relevant pages of the magazine
HOT NEWS FROM THE BS CLUB SHOW !
Heartiest congratulations to our General Secretary, Steve Conlin on his success at this great show
Not only did his Opaline Grey Adult cock take the 2nd Best Beginner Any Age award -- he also won the Challenge Certificate for Opaline Greys.
The rest of his birds did not do badly either -- he picked up several red rosettes. Well done!
Other members who showed with success were Dave Cowie, Graeme French, George Hall and John & Dave Dave Herring, (who also took a Best of Colour award with their over-year Dilute cock).
LATEST
We were very sorry to learn recently that, because of a change in work patterns, or (and the Northern B.S) President, Dave Price has decided that he must sell his entire stock and leave the fancy. However, since this initial announcement, Dave having sold his excellent stud to his partner, Ken Winter, he has been persuaded by Ken to remain connected to the fancy by remaining as partner in this successful showing team. We wish them continuing success.
