Past Officials

The Budgerigar Society heritage goes back to 1925, when the Budgerigar Club was formed. Since those early days – almost 100 years ago – there have been many Society Officials. The chronological history of these people are detailed here.

Presidents

The position of President of the Budgerigar Society is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a member of The Society. The President serves for a term of one year from the AGM and will be entitled to attend all General Council and sub committee meetings without the power to vote unless he is an elected member thereof. The President Elect automatically becomes President at the next AGM. The Vice President is elected at the AGM and will automatically become President Elect at the following AGM.
