You Showing there Barrie? I see you been doing well at the shows this year


i am breeding with all my 8 month old birds,this is the last phase of my breeding programme and the end results should be a quality line of birds that will take me into retirement.

[Dan Maddocks]

Do you have many problems with the 8 month old cocks?

[Barrie Shutt]

Do you have many problems with the 8 month old cocks?


none and the hens are used at the same age they are mature at 8 months and over the top in the 2nd year.

this double factor dominant grey pied was used at 71/2 months old with a 8 month old hen and have raised 13 chicks.

Anyone stewarding on the Saturday morning at the show ,always worth doing

[Dan Maddocks]

Richard Miller asked me too, but not sure never done it :(

[PS1]

Its worth doing its not difficult fetching birds, if you have done it at normal shows its a piece of cake.

[Dan Maddocks]

Never ever done it, so was like, dont no what too do :(

[PS1]

Basically as a steward(s) you are asked by the chief steward to fetch a class number eg class 1 Champion light green cocks, they tell you how many are in the class ,these are then brought from the stageing to the judgeing stand for judgeing .the winning bird in each class is kept back ,the other birds are returned to the stageing.then the winning birds are then judged for best of colour.

[Dan Maddocks]

You doing it this year?

[PS1]

yes we are,if you want to do it you have to ring Dave Hislop have you his number ,if not its in the Budgie Mag

[Dan Maddocks]

Yeah, Saw him last week at show aswell :(, Ill give him a bell.

from the dome car park take the wooden gate leading down to the ornamental pond,cross the bridge and the entrance is in front of you.

the main foyer houses the different budgerigar societies and upstairs the bar and restaurant(12.00 on the dot the bar will be busy with food.).
have a look round going from left to right,our main society stand will be in the centre,once you have circled the foyer the entrance to the main hall is on the right.

£5 entry ,if you buy a programme it will list all the entries by colour and exhibitor,the award sheet will show the winners.you will receive a arm band which lets you come and go whenever it suits.

ENTER THE MAIN HALL.

champion birds start at class number one,followed by intermediates,novice,beginner and juniors.

a large area will be dedicated to sales birds all priced in the programme,buy and take away.

the outer walls are dedicated to our manufactuars names like hampshire breeders,riversway(meet the boys),check out the orange man colin(his dry carrot is good),wades cages and another barry,all your seeds on the bucktons stand,do check out our artistic budgerigar fanciers stands,fantastic pictures to take home,the bits and bobs stands for your dummy eggs,finger drawers,water fountains,all size feed dishes,perches and you name it you can buy it,nest boxes,gazunders,plastic cages and i can go on and on.

have a wonderful day i know you will all go home tired but will have some wonderful memories.

guess the winner- i think it will be a breeder one of three colours-

a violet cock,a greygreen cock or a double factor spangle white cock.

[Dan Maddocks]

Pete

[Dan Maddocks]

Pete

entries were down to about 1500.

brian got five ccs,the d/f broken both main flight feathers.

a lot of birds never made it,perhaps another four weeks later would have made a difference to the entry figure.

[Barrie Shutt]

im hoping to get a day in at the club show this year, what day would be best saturday or sunday ?

[Dan Maddocks]

Come Sunday :) Get to see everything in all its glory :D

[Mark Gulley]

saturday not so good then mate ?

[Dan Maddocks]

Both days are good, but abit hectic on the saturday, Sunday abit more relaxed can view the birds better :)

[Adrian Proud]

I Would Go Along With Dan
Sunday Is The Best Day As You Have More Time To Wait For The Brain Deads To Finish The Conversations And Move Away From The Birds So You Can See Them

I Just Wish I Could Make It At All This Year As I Will Be Working All Week End So I Hope You All Get Some Good Pictures And Post Them On Here

[Mark Gulley]

sunday seems like the day then . i suppose most of saturday would be taken up with judging etc any way. id rather spend a relaxed day at it rather than cram it into a few hours after judging. theres a bunch of us going up on the train from down here long trip but hopefully worth it maybe next year ill be able to manage the whole weekend experience

[Dan Maddocks]

=D its brilliant the whole weekend :D

Id stick with sunday for day visit though :)

[Brian Smart]

[Adrian Proud]

I Have Heard Good Report About Your Yellow Face At The North East National Me Mate Never Stopped Talking About It Tonight When I Was At His Dressing His Birds Out For The Weekend

Hopefully Blyth Will Be The Only Show I Will Be Able To Visit This Year As I Dont Get To Many Due To Work And Have To Rely On Other People To Take My Birds

[Darren Mckeown]

No i went last year on the sunday took the wife and kids, just to see what it wasn all about, thats were it gave me the bug, i went to my first open show at castleford last month, enjoyed it got a bit of help from some people just by opening my mouth and asking what all the numbers on the cages meant, then concentrated on why one bird was placed above another more so on the begginers section so to see what i would come up against in the future.
Darren

[Simon Devaney]

the good news is the foreign bird society are holding their show in the same venue


Where are they going to stage the birds :confused:

The main hall was full last year with the budgies / trade stands, and the balcony held all the sales birds

just hope the dont try to cram to much into the main hall as it can get really busy at times

could be a good thing though :cool:

[Dan Maddocks]

Going to be a nightmare if they do, Unless there expecting poor entries?

well if the main hall was full there were a lot of gaps.

the best thing ever were the foreign birds in with the budgies it creates more footfall into the show.

i would imagine there are plenty of side rooms unused or they may put the society stands inside the main show hall.

[Mark Gulley]

im looking forward to it . its going to be my first time

[Dan Maddocks]

I remember my first time :rolleyes:

[Barrie Shutt]

[Rob Barnes]

Can I ask, is it always Doncaster where it's held? If so, is there any reason why?

[Barrie Shutt]

we have had other locations rob but it is based on availability,cost and a central location mid way between the UKs populated areas .:)

[Mark Gulley]

and far from cornwall lol to keep us boys in the sticks lol

[Rob Barnes]

we have had other locations rob but it is based on availability,cost and a central location mid way between the UKs populated areas .:)

So its not like it moves around the country all the time, it generally localised to the 'centre' of the UK. Just thinking about maybe going to the show one year but its quite a distance from me. :(

it takes me about 3 hours by road,the boys coming down from the north of scotland must be on the road over 8 hours.
