A message from your Club President Chris Murphy
Good Morning/Afternoon to all our members,
Stan Watson Breeders ShowOur Stan Watson Breeders Show is being held on Saturday May 1. Please note some important notes about our 2 major shows for 2021.
1. We have secured permission from the Uniting Church to return to the Vermont Hall in South Plympton for both the Stan Watson Breeders Show and the Ron Norman Annual Show in June.
2. Attendance at the venue will be restricted to only exhibitors and officials, as per a directive from the Church. So if you wish to attend and do not have any birds entered, please contact our Show Manager so he can allocate you a role for the day.
3. All COVID expectations will be in play, and social distancing protocols must be observed. As we approach the shows, we will communicate the COVID requirements for the day.
4. On the good news front, prizemoney for the show has been doubled to $1500, with the prizes spread throughout all the classes as well as the major awards in each section of Novice, Intermediate and Open.
5. The show schedule is now available on our website – follow this link to the show schedule - http://www.bssainc.org.au/2021-stan-watson-show.html.
6. Entries close Saturday 24 April, so please get your entries into the show manager this week.
Come and Try Night – May Meeting – Tuesday 4 May. 7.30pm startAs members have hopefully seen on our website and facebook page, your Club is hosting a “come and try” night as part of our May meeting. It would be appreciated if our members could share the flyer which is attached to this email on their facebook pages, and promote the evening via any means possible. The more promotion the better.
We are also hoping that as many open members will be able to contribute a couple of birds for the giveaway to our Novice members. Please text or email Ian Wise if you are prepared to help out for the evening.
Additionally, we are also trying some independent targeted facebook and social media advertising of the evening, which will hopefully encourage hobbyists who are not already members of a Club to get involved and come along on the night.
Logan Shield – Sunday 16 May 2021As we are aware, the ANBC Show for 2021 has been cancelled, however, the BCSA is holding the Logan Shield as per normal this year. The Logan Shield is usually the preselection show for the SA Team to represent us at the ANBC which is usually held the following weekend.
The schedule and entry forms are attached to this email.
BSSA on-line auctions – We have just concluded week 11 of our on-line auctions. If any member has birds they would like to place on the auction site, please contact Ian Wise. The more the merrier and the wider the variety the better. As much as the demand for the normal and opaline varieties is high, many of the other varieties are sought after due to the lack of availability in other auctions.
Finally, please remember the BSSA has unpainted show cages for sale and the Trading Table is available at all club meetings and privately by contacting our Trading Officer – details on the website http://www.bssainc.org.au/
Have a great week & looking forward to a fantastic Show and meeting in early May.
Regards
Chris Murphy
