SBBA
- CLUB SHOW 2015
reported compiled by Ghalib Al-Nasser
| The Society’s club show was, once again,
held in conjunction with the Budgerigar Society Club Show at its earlier
date in September (week 39) and although the show had an increase in total
entry by 13% the total spangle entry fell by one from last year due to few
regular exhibitors were judging the show. The total entry of the three
groups was 202 in comparison to 203 last year and 169 and 168 in previous
years. There were 74 spangle greens entered, 89 spangle blues and 39 DF
Spangles.
The Association extends its congratulations to all winners and our thanks to Ghalib Al-Nasser who judged the Spangle Greens, John Cosby who judged the Spangle Blues and Bob Allen who judged the Double Factor Spangles. As always winning members in the Spangle sections were treated to some wonderfully designed certificates and the Best Spangle in Show and six major winners also received special certificates enclosed in glass frames which added a further special touch to the awards. Our sincere thanks are extended to John Cosby for producing those wonderful certificates. Spangle Greens The adult certificate went to a powerful Light Green cock of good width of head & shoulders belongs to Steve & Bill Squires showed in perfect condition. This bird eventually went on to win Best Overall Spangle in Show. A lovely Grey Green hen of good spangle marking shown by Thomas & Wall was second. This was followed by Mark & T Rodgers partnership from Dublin Grey Green cock of good quality and blow and pushed hard for second place but the hen won on her good spangle marking.
A lovely Dark Green cock of good blow and directional feathering bred by Alex & Dave Woan won the young bird certificate. Mick Widdowson & Brian Wilson were second with a wide headed and shoulders Grey Green hen of good spangle markings. Another hen, a Dark Green, from the Squires stud was third that stood well and had good markings.
