15 April 2017 Dear Member Congratulations to all members who entered birds in our Annual Show. This time last year I was reporting that we had just had our best Annual Show for years with over 200 entries. This year not only were there 256 entries but the quality of birds was lifted to another level with a higher percentage of birds showing the qualities required in the modern show bird. It is now time to focus on the ANBC Championship Show and the lead-up events. Our Young Bird Selection Show is scheduled for May 13. Set-up of the staging is at 7:45am. The team selected will be taken to the Zone Show which will be held in Marian outside of Mackay on the Thursday prior to the ANBC Show weekend. Details of where the birds will be assembled will be discussed at the June General Meeting which will follow the Show. Our best wishes go to all members who have birds selected to represent our Club, then our Zone and at the ANBC Championship Show in Mackay. The Schedule for our Young Bird Selection Show is included in this newsletter. There is also a class for Nestfeather birds, ie for 2017 (blue rings) birds that have not broken their cap. The ZONE schedule is also included in this newsletter. Concerning the ANBC Show, the Committee encourages all members to make as much effort as possible to get to this show and see the best budgerigars in Australia. It definitely opens your eyes to the advancements being made by other breeders and exhibitors. A reminder that you need to register to attend the show, even if you are not attending any other functions. The Club’s organised aviary visit and visit to the Brisbane BRASEA Auction has been scheduled for August 27 & 28. Try to plan for this event as the Aviary visits have been confirmed for the Saturday, with the Pine Rivers Auction the main focus on the Sunday.

Nominations are being received from non-CBS breeders for our Annual Auction. The Catalogue will be distributed and put onto our Web page in the near future. Keep that date free! Trust this finds you well and enjoying an exciting 2017. We look forward to seeing you at a Club event. Thank you for your continued support. Yours fraternally Kevin O’Callaghan Secretary kevocall@optusnet.com.au
