C.B.B.A. NEWS - March 2005

Following the successful Anniversary Show in 2004 the C.B.B.A. committee are to hold a similar event on Sunday 12th June 2005, again at Wolvey Village Hall.

The 2004 show was the best supported Clearwing exhibition event and it is hoped that even more breeders will exhibit their birds at the 2005 event.

Whilst judging of the exhibits on the morning of the show is undertaken by the C.B.B.A. President Phil Proctor it is envisaged that a panel of 4 or so eminent Clearwing breeders will be available to answer questions posed by the audience.   Pre-booked lunches will be available at local hostelries and refreshments will be available in the morning.  Entries taken on the day.
