Silver Star Award

The Silver Star commenced in 1951 and was initially called The Star of Merit. It is an accolade bestowed upon a member for outstanding services to the Society. It is awarded in recognition of any notable achievement in the breeding of Budgerigars or for meritorious service on behalf of our Society.

A sub-committee of five members is elected annually, at the Society's General Council meeting after the AGM, from existing holders of the Silver Star, to investigate claims in the year under review for recommendation to the General Council. Four of those members present at a meeting to form a quorum.

The sub-committee meets in November only to consider any nominations sent by members to the General Secretary by 31st October. The nominations have to be proposed and seconded by members giving reasons for such nominations. The sub-committee also reserves the right to withhold the award of the Silver Star for any particular year.

Presentation of the Silver Star is made by the outgoing President at the Society's AGM held in February.
