LIGHT GREEN FOR TOP AWARD

The Society held another successful area championship show with an increase in total entry from previous years. The atmosphere was great with plenty of visitors and the overseas judge Bjorn Johansson from Sweden was very impressed with the quality of the birds that he judged and the atmosphere at the show.

Once again members came forward with sponsoring the show with section rosettes, prize money and placing adverts in the schedule and the Society is grateful to Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser, Mick Freeborn & Andy Thorpe, Peter Merritt, Jim Lawrie, Malcolm Parsons, Ron Pearce, David & Linda Rafis, Rupert Redden, Brian & Karen Scott, Ian Standley, Paul Tiller, Terry & Yvonne Tuxford, James Wheeler and to Gold Chips Bedding, Aviary Hygiene and South Eastern BC for their kind sponsorship.

The show received a higher entry of 475 from last year’s show from 44 exhibitors with 342 birds benched. The judges Bjorn Johansson, Adrian & Trevor Terheege and Mick Widdowson selected Ackers & Bird light green cock as the best any age in show and then best in show. The judges also selected a lacewing yellow cock bred by Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser as the best young bird in show who also won the award for best any age opposite sex with a cinnamon grey green hen. The final award that the judges selected was the best young bird opposite sex in show and best overall opposite sex in show which went to a spangle cinnamon skyblue hen bred by Ray Nicholls.

There was a further increase in the champion exhibitors to 23 and the Ackers & Bird’s best any age in show light green cock headed the champion any age section who also occupied the second place with a grey green cock. Jim Lawrie was third with a spangle light green cock. Ghalib & Janice won the champion young bird section with their lacewing yellow cock, followed by Steve Cox spangle cobalt cock in second place.

A First For Rick

London & Southern Counties BS Area Open - 13th October 2019
The Gerald Binks Memorial Show.
 Judges: Ken Brockwell, Allan Michael, Chris Snell and Geoff Tuplin
Major Sponsor - Mick Freeborn

HAT TRICK FOR PETER

The L&SCBS area show was The Gerald Binks Memorial Show in respect to the late Gerald Binks who passed away in July this year. Gerald was a past president of the Society and a household name in the fancy world-wide. His wife Joyce presented the special glass trophies to all section winners; the cost of the trophies being sponsored by Mick Freeborn, the show’s major sponsor. The Society is indebted to Mick and to Gladwells who donated 20kg bags of seed to all section winners. The Society also received sponsorship from Gold Chips Bedding as well as Aviary Hygiene, where the prizes were distributed to the second best and third best section winners. The society also thanks Mick Freeborn, Peter Merritt and Andy Thorpe who donated quality birds for the auction. One of the judges, Geoff Tuplin on behalf of the partnership Tuplin and Edwards, donated a pair of young birds to the best junior young bird in show and Junior Ginge was the lucky winner. It was also good to see Les Martin and his partner Edith attending the show to give moral support to Joyce Binks. Once again members came forward with sponsoring the section rosettes and prize money and the society is grateful to Ghalib and Janice Al-Nasser, Mick Freeborn, David Harmer, Ray and Ruth Marston, Ron Pearce, David & Linda Rafis, Rupert Redden, Brian & Karen Scott, Ian Standley, Andy Thorpe, Paul Tiller and Terry and Yvonne Tuxford.

History was made when the judges, Ken Brockwell, Allan Michael, Chris Snell and Geoff Tuplin gave a unanimous verdict to the cinnamon grey cock of Peter Merritt as the best any age and best in show. This is a ‘hat-trick’ for this bird and for Peter, as it won best in show in 2017 as a young bird, then as an adult in 2018 and again this year. However, winning on 3 or 4 consecutive years was achieved before by Amos and Thumwood, Muir and Crossman and Roy Aplin but never with the same bird; WELL DONE PETER.

INTERMEDIATE WINS AGAIN

Having achieved the double by winning both the any age and young bird awards and eventually the supreme award with the young bird last year, Peter Merritt came back again to repeat his success by having his last year’s young bird winner repeating the same success as an adult in winning the supreme award again.

For some unexplainable reasons the show suffered with a loss of 16% from last year’s entry and received a total entry of 492 from 42 exhibitors (only 3 down from last year) spanning over 3 area societies and benched 363 in total. Our thanks are extended to Roy Aplin for donating a pencil sketch to raise funds as well as to the exhibitors who sponsored the cost of the rosettes (Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser, Hastings BS, Connor Hickman, Ray & Ruth Marston, Mid Essex BS, Ron Pearce, Brian & Karen Scott, Richard Tessier, Paul Tiller, Andy Thorpe and Terry & Yvonne Tuxford) and to David & Linda Rafis who sponsored the show with the steward’s seed raffle, Aviary Hygiene, SkyGold and Gold Chips Bedding.


The Judges Bob Francis, Gary Hale, Tony Pope & Dave Game

The judges; Bob Francis, Dave Game, Gary Hale & Tony Pope all from South Wales chose the cinnamon grey cock, last year’s winner, of committee member Peter Merritt as the best any age in show and best in show. They also awarded Peter’s yellowface skyblue hen as the best any age opposite sex and overall best opposite sex in show. Gavin Carter won the best young bird in show with a light green cock while Connor Hickman’s yellowface grey hen won the young bird opposite sex award.

INTERMEDIATE WINS THE DOUBLE

It must have been many years ago when a fancier achieved the double by winning both the any age and young bird awards and eventually the supreme award and this happened at this year’s area show. The show received a total entry of 588 from 45 exhibitors spanning over 3 area societies and benched 421 in total. Our thanks are extended to Roy Aplin for donating a pencil sketch to raise funds as well as to the exhibitors who sponsored the cost of the rosettes and to David & Linda Rafis who sponsored the show with the steward’s seed raffle. Greg Arena, a fancier from the USA, who stewarded at the show was very impressed with the quality of the birds and the organisation of the show.

The judges; Alan & Gina Adams, John Cosby, Gavin Carter & Dave Sturzaker with Tim Gee as the subsidiary judge were unanimous in their choice of the cinnamon grey cock of committee member Peter Merritt as the best young bird in show and best in show. They also awarded Peter’s cinnamon grey cock, a relative of the winner, as the best any age in show. Mike Smith won the any age opposite sex award and best overall opposite sex with a light green hen while Martin Frost benched a dominant pied cinnamon skyblue hen to win the young bird opposite sex award.


The Judges

Dave Tutty headed the champion any age section with his cinnamon light green cock followed by Mike Smith’s light green hen in second place.  Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser were third with a cobalt cock. Connor Hickman won the champion young bird section with a double factor spangle yellow cock which was followed by Ghalib & Janice’s spangle grey cock in second place. Martin Frost was third with his dominant pied hen.

INTERMEDIATE PARTNERSHIP WINS THE SUPREME AWARD FOR THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING

The society had a very successful area championship show to celebrate its 75tAnniversary. The huge sponsorship received throughout the year and the awards allocated to the show was second to none; with special glass trophies awarded to the section winners, bespoke coloured coasters to all 50 best of colour winners and much more. There was also an enhanced sponsorship received for the show from Country Wide Seed, Birdcare Company, Cage & Aviary Birds, Aviary Hygiene, Roy Aplin and so many individual members and societies who helped make the year so very special. The Major Sponsor was Mick Freeborn, who was one of the judges and also celebrated his 75th birthday a month earlier. It was also Mick’s last judging engagement as he announced his retirement from the judging circuit. Mick’s sponsorship of £500 allowed the society to give free entry per cage to all exhibitors, free admittance to the show as well as a free catalogue. There was a special 75th Anniversary decorated cake which was cut by the society senior officials and Mick Freeborn and all exhibitors had a slice of it. As part of the anniversary celebration each member received a specially designed membership certificate written in Janice’s italic handwriting as well as a coaster with the society’s logo on it sent out with the show schedule. All exhibitors who were not members also received this special anniversary coaster as well as the judges who also each received a memento ceramic beaker.

All this sponsorship helped the show to receive an increase in total entry to 757 in comparison to last year’s entry of 590; an increase of 28%. The number of exhibitors also increased by 9 to 59 resulting in a total benched entry of 526 with exhibitors coming from 5 area societies. Jac Cuyten, top fancier from Holland, together with 2 other fanciers who came with him were very impressed with the show and the quality of the birds that he judged.

The judges Geoff Capes, Jac Cuyten, Grant Findlay, Mick Freakley and Mick Freeborn had some top class birds put before them to judge and the same two exhibitors who shared the major awards at the

2015 show came on top again at this show. For the second year running Steve & Bill Squires captured the supreme award with their adult spangle light green cock while Connor Hickman had his baby skyblue cock that won the best young bird award at the B.S. club show two weeks earlier repeating its success again at this show. The partnership of Terry Ellis & Barry Mathews won the award for best any age opposite sex and best overall opposite sex with a cinnamon skyblue hen while Mike Smith benched a light green hen to win the young bird opposite sex award.

Dave Tutty headed the champion any age section with his grey green cock followed Ellis & Mathews’ cinnamon skyblue hen in second place. Steve Bailey benched a cobalt hen in third place. Connor Hickman’s skyblue cock  headed the champion young bird section followed by Mike Smith’s light green hen in second place. Gavin Carter was third with a spangle skyblue cock.

Steve & Bill Squires had a good team to win both intermediate sections. They won the any age section with their best in show spangle light green cock and they also headed the young bird section with a light green cock. They also occupied third best in the any age section with a spangle goldenface grey cock and second best in the young bird section with a light green hen. Stopping the complete domination of the section were Sandra & James Gillan who won second best any age with a cobalt cock and third best young bird with a cobalt hen.

Anthony Andrews from Wales won both novice sections. His white blue cock won the any age section while his yellowface skyblue cock headed the young bird section followed by a light green cock in second place.  James Folly was second and third best any age with a yellowface cinnamon skyblue cock and lacewing yellow hen. Mark Bannister benched an opaline grey green cock to win third best young bird.

Dave Stephenson headed the beginner any age section with a grey green cock and was second best with a grey cock. Graham Paine was third with a skyblue cock. Andrew Perks headed the young bird section with a spangle cinnamon grey cock. Wendy Thorogood was second with a cinnamon grey green cock followed by Gary Simpson’s lutino hen in third place.

It was refreshing to see three juniors competing for honours and Zoe Johnson headed both sections. She won the any age section with a cobalt cock and the young bird section with a cinnamon grey cock. Her grey green cock was third best any age and her yellow-wing light green hen third best young bird. Molly Hewitt-Spires was second in both sections with an adult cinnamon skyblue cock and second best young bird with a skyblue cock.

There were 5 Pairs entered and Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser won with skyblues followed by Graham Paine’s dominant pied light greens and his light greens were third.

There were 3 teams entered and 2 were benched with Gavin Carter winning the best team with two pairs of light greens followed by Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser’s 3 pairs of albinos in second place.

There were 6 colour budgerigars entered in the two classes provided and the partnership of Cyril, David & Jini Sharpe won the normal class and best overall with a light green cock while Ghalib & Janice Al-Nasser won the any other colour class with a dominant pied opaline light green cock.
