The Budgerigar Society - BS CLUB SHOW 2005
BS CLUB SHOW 2005
The show which “didn't get away”! After our 2003 experiences with the Reo-virus which meant that not even the BS Club Show was able to go ahead, there must have been, throughout the fancy, a sense of “deja-vu” when the much-feared Avian 'flu managed to reach our shores. The immediate declarations by DEFRA and the subsequent cancellation of various pigeon shows and the like only served to deepen our sense of dread and I think that most of us were bowing our heads to what appeared to be the inevitable.
Not so! We now realise how well we were served by Dave Whittaker, aided by Dave Hislop and George Booth, when they visited the DEFRA offices at the end of October, alongside representatives of other interested bodies.
There can be no doubt that the representations that they made about the strict Bio-security measures that we already had in place following our earlier (Reoviral) problems stood us in very good stead and we thus received our license to proceed with our show – the shop window of our society and fancy.
It was, admittedly, disappointing that one very popular facet of our Club Show- the Sales Classes – had to be sacrificed for the sake of the show going ahead, but it really was inevitable, such is the fear of this new virus, and the BS was therefore fully confident that the membership would comply with their appeal that no trading of birds should take place on the premises or the immediate environs of the show hall, nor in hotel rooms, etc. On the success of this security aspect probably lay our prospects of being again licensed to proceed next year. That one or two individuals appear to have disregarded this plea is regrettable and reprehensible.
Thus, the show went ahead and it must be said that the catalogued entry of 2,788 in competitive classes (down only 700 on last year) from 235 exhibitors (down 22) was surprisingly good, considering that some fanciers who have in the past relied on entering sales birds alongside their class entries have perhaps declined to show only in the competitive classes. In fact, some of the normally more optimistic of our members were predicting a considerably smaller total, so congratulations to all who proved those sceptics among us wrong! Over 1850 birds were actually benched.
Rather more disappointing is the fact that there were considerably fewer beginner birds shown this year. This said, those beginner exhibitors who did make the journey made a great impression with the quality of their teams, overall, and we look forward to their efforts being built on by other members next year.
The judges who submitted reports on the Colour line-ups that they judged, generally indicated that the quality of exhibit set before them was good, although condition did, as usual, sometimes fall below the most desirable. However, it is noted that many felt that rarely did the Best of Colour Birds “pick themselves” – most birds were pressed all the way by the runners-up. This is a healthy sign in itself.
The Best Bird in Show came from the Intermediate section and this is a fact which will have pleased most visitors to the show, especially as it was generally agreed that this was an outstanding bird which well deserved the Supreme Accolade. I understand that the judges reached their decision overwhelmingly, as with most major specials, so it must have been right! It was also pleasing to note that eight of the certificates were won by birds outside of the Champion section and that in the other certificates a healthy number of Intermediates, Novices, Beginners and even a Junior took the second spot in the line-up.
Once again, the Area Societies were out in force and had their stands at the show: it remains a rather sore point with some that they are required, perforce, to be housed in the foyer (albeit with the BS Stand, etc) to be away from the centre of the activities taking place in the Main hall. The fact that this year the show date coincided with the coldest weather of the winter and that the foyer is very draughty exacerbated this feeling of isolation, and for some abandonment! It is a no doubt a discomfort of which the show committee will be aware and will address if at all possible.
The Trade Stands at the BS Club show always provide both a valuable service to fanciers as they prepare for another breeding season, and also lend additional colour to the whole scene – they certainly complete the greater picture and we welcome their presence year by year. It was particularly pleasing in this rather uncertain time, to note their continued involvement with this event.
There is also no doubt that the lessons which the organising team learned from last year's show, the first Club Show at the Dome, were put into practice very well. Everyone to whom I spoke this year said that everything was much better, and in fact I heard no specific criticisms apart form issues which can not be addressed here – they include the size of the hall, which rules that not all features can be accommodated in the main hall, as mentioned. This is also, of course, a matter which the show team always has under review. The lighting in the foyer and the arrangements for parking, including security were much enhanced and appreciated. Our thanks must therefore go to all who played their part in another magnificent event.
Incidentally, this year, in my efforts to secure a raft of opinions from all sections of the fancy and from as widespread an area as possible, and in view of a rather poor response to last year's questionnaire, I distributed a few to each area society and asked that they persuade a few of their members to complete and return them. I felt that, apart from anything else, this would also help with the link between the BS and Area Societies. Unfortunately, I did not receive any back, save one! Does that mean anything other than that people don't like filling in questionnaires? We would still welcome folks' opinions about the show, as well as other aspects of our fancy – it still isn't too late.

A very nice Opaline Blue Hen, staged by A & D Woan, took this certificate. She displayed a good depth of face and spot, was nice and thick through the neck and had plenty of width. Additionally, she had one of the cleanest headed birds in the class.
Second in the line-up was an Opaline Violet Cock, another powerful bird from the Champion section, but was not as steady as the hen when it came to judging the line-up - well worthy of the second place slot.
Some very nice birds were exhibited in this section, only to be let down by variety content and flecking.
