New bird club i Lincoln

[Softbill Man]

Hi everyone,
I would like to inform everyone of a new bird club in Lincoln.

After lengthy discussions between the 2 existing clubs, it was unanimously agreed that Lincoln B&FBS and Mid Lincs B&FBS would close down and a new club be formed.

It shall be called the Lincoln & District Budgerigar & Foreign Bird Society.

The inaugral meeting shall be on Thursday night at;
The Post Office Club,
Dunkirk Road,
Lincoln

The meeting starts at 7.30pm

For more information please contact the acting secretary
Mr D. Robinson
01522 800899

We have already booked our show for the 2nd August 2009 at North Kesteven Sports Centre, Lincoln and this has been provisionally agreed by the BS as an Silver Championship Open Show for Budgerigars and a Supreme patronage show for Foreign Birds.

This is a major event in the bird showing calendar and it is hoped that up to and over 1000 birds shall be shown on the day.

Thanks
John

Hi Fabian,
Christine (The secretary) sent you a letter as the meeting nights have been changed.
The next meeting is on the Last Wednesday of the month 29th at 7.30pm held at the Peter De Wint pub on the corner of Moorland avenue off Triton Way, opposite Sainsbury's.
All meetings are now on the last Wednesday of the month.
Unfortunately i have resigned from the club and the 3 positions i held as i cannot make Wednesday nights, so no point in me staying a member, but if you want to contact Christine, for more info on derek.robinson4@ntlworld.com they will keep in touch with you.
Cheers mate
