A message from your Club President Chris Murphy
Good Morning/Afternoon Members,
Welcome to June (almost) and the official start of winter – hoping we get some solid rain soon!!
June is always a huge month for the Club, our Club meeting and major Show are in the next fortnight.
June Monthly Meeting – Tuesday June 1st @ 7.30pm – Unley Community Centre, 18 Arthur Street, Unley.
Our presentation for the evening will be about show preparation and understanding of the ANBC exhibition standard. As we are in the middle of our Show season, this will be invaluable information for our members, and a fantastic opportunity to ask questions and gain a solid understanding of the standard.
For our newer members and visitors, we will be hosting a separate “Beginners Forum” in a separate area of the Hall.
Members may have seen our social media campaign on Facebook to alert prospective new members and visitors to the Club. I have attached the ad below for your interest. Please share to as many people/pages as possible.

Our trading table will be present at the meeting, so as usual, we will have a full range of products available, but pre orders with our Trading Officer are always appreciated.
2021 Club Ring Orders – last day for ordering is 15 June 2021.
Our final ring orders for this year will close shortly. The 2022 rings will not be available until December, so please ensure you have enough rings to last.
Our ring order form can be accessed on the BSSA Website, and the money can be direct deposited into the club account – please ensure your details are on the deposit.
Ron Norman Annual Show & BRASEA State Show – Saturday 12 June at the Vermont Church Hall, Cross Road.
The Ron Norman Show is rapidly approaching, and the entry forms are available at Club meetings and on the BSSA website.
Our total prize money for the show is $750, with the long distance travelling allowance available to exhibitors who travel 50 KM or further to the venue.
Our guest major award judge is Neale Love from Queensland, so this is an excellent opportunity to talk to and learn from an ANBC National Judge.
Please note that only Officials and Exhibitors are permitted in the Hall, as per a COVID requirement of the Church who hire the hall to us.
We are however endeavouring to encourage people who keep pet budgies to bring their pet bird along on the day, and have an ad running on facebook to promote this.

Online Auctions
Our Club auctions are going very well and we are attracting a solid selection of birds every week. All our members are invited to enter birds, just send the details to Ian Wise.
The commission raised from the auctions has allowed the Club to increase Show prize money this year, and has funded the social media advertising of the Club and Hobby.
